    Mark i386 as Tier 2 starting in FreeBSD 13.0.
    
    i386 was the first platform supported by FreeBSD and for a long
    time was the dominant platform.  However, it has been supplanted
    for many years now by amd64 (64-bit x86).  i386 now more closely
    resembles other Tier 2 platforms in terms of userbase and active
    development.
