There was an interesting request posed in the #Valkey discussions:
A request for a 32-bit container. Earlier this year I advocated for dropping 32-bit support because it decisively seems like something of the past. I would be surprised if _anyone_ was running Valkey on 32-bit machines.
However, 32-bit addressing _does_ save memory, a non-trivial amount. OTOH, it caps you to 4gb. And then there is maintaining 32-bit code, which is something.
What do you think?
