Ralf, you know how this works: Fedora is made up of people, and
therefore Fedora does what people show up to do. People are showing up
to work on those other architectures, even though they are niche, and
*no one* is showing up for i686. So, while I agree the user impact is
worse, the *cost* isn't equivalent at all.
