i386 EOL plans for Xubuntu?

[Bryan Quigley]

Many apologies to rushing this discussion and declaring consensus when
none was reached.   There is no rush on this at all, for instance the
ubuntu-desktop team has decided to wait until the next UOS.

I also didn't properly track contributors vs bystanders which is a fatal flaw.

Sorry again,
Bryan
