What will happen to Slitaz 5 Rolling (32-bit) in June 2020 ?

I have Slitaz 5.0 Rolling (32bit) running on a single-core Intel Atom netbook; it's a great little distro & runs very smoothly :-). However, I notice that the projected end-of-life for its 3.16 kernel is in June 2020...

I would therefore like to know if the transition to a new kernel will be smooth, i.e. I wont need to do a fresh install of the whole distro, OR does it mean I will have to reinstall the whole distro and all of its apps (e.g. Clementine, LibreOffice, Firefox, etc) ?

Apologies if this question has already been asked.

This question hasn't been answered in 3 weeks. Does this mean that noone knows the answer?

Like many others with old hardware, I'd of course be really disappointed if 32bit was discontinued, though I've understood that there are significant technical challenges in continuing to maintain a 32-bit package base.
