as part of this change I suspect we would need to make kernel changes to stop building a i686 kernel, and all i686 deliverables would stop being made. With the current tooling we would never be able to build 32 bit x86 containers, which is not something that is done today. I would also be curious what the plan is to test the 32 bit bits. they are likely to get significantly less testing than the little they get today.
