Just to make this clear because this has suggestion has been brought up multiple times ... while there might be less interests in running a i686 kernel the story is very different for i686 user space (mostly libraries but also applications like wine) even on a x86_64 host kernel. So don't draw a line from "no interests in i686 kernel" to "no interesst in the i686 architecture and therefore it should be secondary" .. its not as simple as with a completely isolated architecture like ppc. _______________________________________________ kernel mailing list kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/kernel
