Google Chrome will no longer have updates for 32-bit Linux. Will Slimjet continue to be updated for 32-linux distros?

Bumping this topic to see if there is an official answer.

Perhaps, now is a good time to begin saving releases as slimjet_i386-802.deb, etcetera?
What is Chromium position? will they end support for 32 bit?

EDIT: Answering myself, here are comments from the Chromium-dev forum: broken link :(
It seems like good news. I hope Flashpeak will continue to build 32 bit Slimjet
for the plethora of 32 bit machines around the world.

Thanks.

"Google's" Chrome is the only one to stop support for Linux 32-bit. But not the Chromium based ones w/c is availble in every Linux Distro's to install since it's open source and is also where Slimjet is based on.
