FreeBSD 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 (including SAs) may not be addressed in 13.x.
The i386 platform will remain Tier 1 on FreeBSD 11.x and 12.x.
