The FreeBSD project has announced [freebsd.org] that it is designating i386 as a Tier 2 architecture starting with FreeBSD 13.0. The Project will continue to provide release images, binary updates, and pre-built packages for the 13.x branch. However, i386-specific issues may not be addressed in 13.x. The i386 platform will remain Tier 1 on FreeBSD 11.x and 12.x.

For FreeBSD 13.x, the FreeBSD project commits to providing release images, binary updates, and pre-built packages for i386. In addition, the userland ABI will continue to be preserved in 13.x.

For branches beyond 13.x (e.g. 14.x), the FreeBSD Project reserves the right to reduce the amount of i386 support provided.
