This is truly great news for us in the embedded sector with support periods
ranking up to 30 years (!) -- not kidding. Some of us have tried to bring this issue up in the past, only to be shot down as proposing "band aid solutions".

I'm truly glad this is finally being addressed. People tend to only look to their desktop computers, or their phones being upgraded to use 64-bit processors, but the reality is that there's a HUGE embedded market going steady with 32-bit. And this will likely not change that much in the coming years.
The community has my deepest regards today, thank you so much! :)
