We had several discussions about lib32 and multilib support in the past. It has been always our agreement to keep Arch x86_64 plain pure 64bit. Just KISS.
It has been YOUR agreement.
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? 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?
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?
So please take care about the word "official" in this forum thread: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=102973 or wherever it will come up.
It is official in a sense that it is maintained by Arch developers and TUs.
