Oops, missed Dani’s response. I agree, though I put a friendlier spin on it
J. The decision affects the entire community but I’m sure the Eclipse PMC is taking that into consideration.

Ultimately, the question is whether Simultaneous Release, EPP packages, installer and so on should keep targeting 32-bits and whether they can safely drop it from now
Except for actually building the 32-bit versions, is there real/much work involved for EPP (Markus)? If not, the discussion is worthless in my opinion and EPP should just ship/support what the platform
decides to support. And as Mike mentioned. The Eclipse TLP PMC decides which platforms are supported and not any of the councils.

The target environments has a cross-project effect and may become a cross-project effort/win. Ultimately, the question is whether Simultaneous Release, EPP packages, installer and so on should keep targeting 32-bits and whether
they can safely drop it from now on as part of a collective decision. I believe if one of the councils emits a recommendation, it will be easier for projects to take a decision and action here. Without a clear recommendation, it's likely to be a "who's first"
staring contest ;)
Of course, it should still remain up to project to do differently according to their constraints.
