No. Valve (the biggest offender) will have to make native 64-bit Steam before then, as will the remaining holdouts, so Linux distros will be able to remove 32-bit packages in a timely manner.
Removing then now will break too much to be worth doing.
I don't think Fedora users care about breakages ngl.
I am a fedora user. I care. Why wouldn't I? ...
Same. If most of my games stopped working, I would be very annoyed, especially because it was entirely preventable.
Thankfully, the Fedora project and community agree.
Yeah. I'm not saying the process went perfectly, but I think it's good they proposed this and then nixed it. Gotta do it someday though.
