[GRASS-user] winGRASS - still a need for 32bit versions?

Hi GRASS community,

as stated e.g. in:

################

we're providing winGRASS in 32bit and 64bit versions (OSGeo4W and
standalone).

nowadays 64bit windows operating systems (e.g. win 10) are very common; most
of the personal computer assembled after 2010 are 64bit systems. linux
distributions start to phase out 32bit support. [1] [2] [3] [4]

a question to our winGRASS community: is there still a need for 32bit
versions of winGRASS?
