No. There won't be release images for i386, there won't be freebsd-update support for i386, and there won't be any more packages build from ports for i386 (I'm not sure if they've been taken off pkg.freebsd.org yet, but the system which was building them is now doing amd64 16.x packages). There's just a lot of things to turn off when a platform is desupported and not all of them happen at once. ;-) -- Colin Percival FreeBSD Release Engineering Lead & EC2 platform maintainer Founder, Tarsnap | www.tarsnap.com | Online backups for the truly paranoidhelp
