Ok that article has a misconception between heading and contents.
The heading says that something big sh*t is about to happens - and put all your x86 based computers on fire. So I beleive is not the case.
While the contents seems to be about the x32 ABI - which in my understanding so far is it allows some 32 bit apps to make advantages of an x64 bit CPU. That's not a very big thing - at least not for me because having a 64 bit CPU means installing a 64 bit distro, normally.

I won't let an old, but fully functional computer die just because some company tell me that they won't make no more security updates to their OS. Thanks Linux
