I don't see RHEL as any form of argument. RedHat does a mass recompile anyway even if its just to remove the fcXX release tag so the discussion of their platforms support has nothing to do with Fedora. I wouldn't be surprised at all if RHEL6 doesn't support i386 at all! After all they need to support the release for 7 years not 1 year like Fedora does (at work we're now just decommissioning RHEL2.1 systems because its now not supported - not our choice but our customers) and the commercial systems are going that way. VMWare ESX4 is only supported on x64, a number of new MS products are only 64 bit etc. But then all server systems have been x64 capable for 5 years now and most of the old ones wouldn't be upgraded (if its not broke don't fix it etc).
