patches. It doesn't immediately become unsafe once it is no longer
supported, especially if you are keeping the templates up to date with
security patches. However, the longer you stay on 3.2, the less safe it
gets.

It is less safe to use 3.2 than it used to be when it was getting

If the choice is between using qubes 3.2 and using a monolithic linux
distro (because of incompatibility with 4.0), i'd say 3.2 is still the
better choice, but i'm not an expert.

Like others have said, 3.2 is still probably safer than some random distro.
I wish we could have stuck with the PV-based VMs, which wouldn't require
VT-d, and are probably more efficient, but I can understand the reasons
for the switch to PVH.

Just curious, I'm guessing it's because of the VT-d requirement?
