Yes, the other option would be to move to Debian or find another rpm-based distro that still supports 32 bit. All of this because Fedora decided to do what seems to be so common recently, dropping what still works well. This hurts our community. This hurts our users. It'd be one thing to make it so that QA requirements were effectively dropped on 32 bit, but there was no real reason to drop 32 bit support. It still worked, and quite well.
It didn't work well in general, though it may have worked well for you. It has been getting more difficult to support i686 in the kernel over time. There were very few people willing to help Fedora's kernel maintainers with bugs in i686 kernels. They asked for help multiple times over more than a year and they didn't get a significant amount of help. If you want you go back and find the threads covering these requests.
