It is not a violent cheat. It was proposed this way 2 years ago. At
the time a SIG was created to maintain i686 so that it could continue
as a secondary arch. They are inactive. See the post in the SIG there.
When a call for a status was made (as the only traffic on their list
so far this year), it got a single reply from someone saying that they
would no longer have 32bit hardware as of August.
