[PD] who still needs Pd 32 bits for macOS and why?

[Jean-Marie Adrien]

Hi
Still using 32 bits pd, (and also 64 bits) : 32 bits are necessary not for PD itself, but for drivers of external hardware working with pd, because applications based on pd integrate many hardware pieces, some of them old, and obtaining a stabilized and cheap integrated hardware set is some work. 
One day ill have to make the jump, though, obviously ... and upgrade hardware.
Nice to read that now almost everything is available in 64 bits however on the pd side, and thanks for the wrk !
What about big sur ?

Or I mean I don't know which library is still 32 bits only and I guess what needs to be done is just get them compiled for 64 bits anyway, and I could help with that.
