I still own a couple 486 systems, they're unlikely to remove support for that family any time soon.. some embedded systems still have 486 class processors.

It makes far more sense to support Atari TT or Amiga
than i386 (that is about the same time line 1991-1993). If anybody like vintage computing he is far more likely to hate Wintel hardware than to run it.
My favorite machine of that time was Micro VAX 3000
probably because I was studying at the places that were
poor to have Alpha stations and HP Risk stations.
