| ignored during our automated builds. You can still build their standard | ||
| library for cross-compiling (or the full compiler in some cases) from source | ||
| on your own, but you might encounter build errors, bugs, or missing features. |

I'm not sure if we need a full summary of how support tiers work in this announcement. I think the links to the current support tiers and RFC 2803, together with a simple statement that 32-bit Apple targets will no longer be exercised in any way via the Rust project's CI infrastructure, would be sufficient.

As this affects both tier 1 and tier 2 platforms going into tier 3, I think having a brief description of what those tiers mean in the blog post is useful.

RFC 2837, "Demote Apple 32bit targets to Tier 3", is going to be merged soon, and one of the things it requires is a blog post on the main blog announcing the change, to bring as much awareness to the demotion as we can.
I wrote a draft of the post, what do y'all think?
