preliminary stats show a big drop in i686 mirror connections over the

hitting an end-of-life wall.
There's still a number of x686 packages on my 64-bit FC25, although it's less than it used to be: I was actually pleasantly surprised how few there are left (< 3%)
rpm -qa --queryformat "%{ARCH}\n" | sort | uniq -c

    154 i686
   2423 noarch
     23 (none)
   3647 x86_64

Out of 154 32-bit packages, 111 are recent FC25 packages, and 43 are leftovers from FC24. All of them are accompanying the corresponding x86_64 packages: I don't remember ever asking to load 32-bit ones on this system (I remember loading some up on older systems, for development of 32-bit compatible software). I don't know how many are just historical accidents, e.g.

 dnf erase krb5-libs-1.14.4-4.fc25.i686
Dependencies resolved.
========================================================
 Package                  Arch             Version                        Repository                 Size
========================================================
Removing:
 krb5-libs                i686             1.14.4-4.fc25                  @@commandline             1.8 M
 openssl-libs             i686             1:1.0.2j-1.fc25                @@commandline             2.6 M
 trousers-lib             i686             0.3.13-6.fc24                  @@commandline             478 k

which looks like a good candidate to get rid of because I also have x86_64 versions of those,  but some are clearly required, e.g.

dnf erase gd-2.2.3-2.fc25.i686
