Changes to this file should not be MFCed.
+xxxx:
+ 32-bit kernels and worlds are now deprecated and may be
+ removed in the next major release (15.0.).
+
+ Support for executing 32-bit binaries on 64-bit platforms via
+ COMPAT_FREEBSD32 will remain supported for the foreseeable
+ future. This includes support for 32-bit jails. However,
+ since future releases will not provide worlds or release
+ images, 32-bit jails would need to be built from an earlier
+ release (e.g. 14.0).
+
+ Support for compiling individual 32-bit applications via `cc
+ -m32` will also be supported for the foreseeable future which
+ includes suitable headers in /usr/include and libraries in
+ /usr/lib32. It will also continue to remain posible to
+ compile 32-bit applications against a 32-bit world from an
+ earlier release (e.g. 14.0).
+
+ Support for 32-bit platforms in ports for 15.0 and later
+ releases is also deprecated, and these future releases may not
+ include binary packages for 32-bit platforms or support for
+ building 32-bit applications from ports.
+
+ stable/14 and earlier branches will retain existing 32-bit
+ kernel and world support. Ports will retain existing support for
+ building ports and packages on 32-bit systems on stable/14 and
+ earlier branches as long as those branches are supported by the
+ ports system.
+
+ With the current support schedule, stable/14 will be EOLed 5
+ years after the release of 14.0. The EOL of stable/14 would
+ mark the end of support for 32-bit platforms including source
+ releases, pre-built packages, and support for building
+ applications from ports. Given an estimated release date of
+ October 2023 for 14.0, support for 32-bit platforms would end
+ in October 2028.

nda is now the default nvme device on all platforms. While nda creates
nvd links by default so fstab, etc continues to work, configuration
