It's worth pointing out that won't tell us how many of those i686 users
are doing so on hardware that lacks x86_64 capabilities.
Is there a way to cross-grade from i686 to x86_64 ?
Or rather, as I know the answer to this question is very likely no,
would there be a way to do that with a DNF plugin ?
It might be difficult to do from a running system, but could be easier
from a system-upgrade target ?
That may help transition people with x86_64 capable hardware that are
still running an i686 Fedora.
On a side note, I do have a bunch of old 32 bits only hardware (VIA C3
and friends) that would sadly need to find a new distro to keep being
useful if i686 kernel ever gets dropped from Fedora.
