Hello,

good remark in the wiki. But in the actual situation, it brings up=20
another question. Not only i?86 systems are hard to get, this is true=20
for many x64 systems also. Not everybody has a spare system laying around.
Could we extend support of those old systems by 1-3 months?
In terms of security it is better to use an old HW than an outdated SW.

Regards,
Bernhard
