Ubuntu made the decision, then rolled it back (partially) due to community
outcry. (https://itsfoss.com/ubuntu-19-10-drops-32-bit-support/)
If your reason for wanting to drop support is "Ubuntu is doing it", my
response would be "cool story bro".
Can you state what you are trying to accomplish by dropping support so the
merits can be debated?
