They were going to shut it down due to upstream Fedora considering ending 32-bit support. Sticking to upstream wouldn't have helped you avoid that issue.

Why do you say that? If they drop 32-bit library, maybe I won't be able to play games for a time - at least until somebody rigs up a fix - but at least my operating system will still be supported.

If Bazzite goes poof overnight, though, that's a major problem. At least Fedora's official spins will continue to receive necessary updates.
