Any additional 32bit support should stay in the community area. Nothing has changed here.
We are doing more than that. We are separating 32bit support from community, too. I want to make it a strict rule that no multilib package can ever enter community again. Or core. Or extra. (Btw, that rule would imply that grub is being removed from core-x86_64).
when did we have the discussion to move to grub2 as standard?
I was just messing with Andy. The fact is that grub-legacy is a 32 bit package.
But well, I agree with Andreas, we should at least have a discussion before we change something as drastic as this, this is the first time I hear about providing official support for it and it to be already official?
We do not change anything. We are just adding a new repository and we are removing tons of broken packages from community.
To repeat what I said several times: multilib support MUST be in its own repository, the core/extra/community Arch Linux MUST stay pure 64.
so people are forced to go multilib on i686 due to grub? I mean, it must be enabled by default how else can people install it? What is the solution you propose here?
As I said, I am not planning to do anything about grub, I was just pointing the flaw in Andy's argument.
