My best guess was to just look at the rendered release notes and check for "i386" annotations and use that as a guide. > 2. Should I remove the manuals also, or just remove the entries from the hardware release notes? For now I think just the latter. I think we should wait to remove the actual manuals until we remove i386 kernel support from the tree. -- John Baldwin
