Probably informative/helpful to reference the PMC minutes around dropping support because win32 is no longer supported in the upstream openjdk project (likely early 2023).

I think the explanation should be written someone who knows why and not me ;)

A reference to https://openjdk.org/jeps/449 would probably be adequate for explaining this decision.

Will be good to add this question to the content/asciidoc-pages/docs/faq FAQ
Why is my favorite platform or operating system no longer supported? (possibly right below 'Will you support my favorite architecture and operating system?')

There's a Windows x86 table which covers this.

No, this doesn't include the explanation.
Please re-read the issue description.
