Should "with the 20.04 release" be 22.04 (or whatever release dropped i386)?

We've been using 20.04, so i386 support wasn't dropped there, I presume.

You could say "after the 20.04 release" perhaps, but that seems less useful. In that case, you avoid using a version at all, e.g. "dropped support ... entirely in subsequent releases" or something.
