FWIW, I still have two Asus EeePCs (900 and 1000) that are being used.
They're Atom N270 based, so 32-bit only. I'd like to run the most recent
Fedora on them, but I don't have much time to devote to debugging
i686-specific issues.
If the proposal remains to be only about dropping i686 kernel (and image) builds, you should be able to get latest Fedora (userspace without latest kernel) by installing Fedora 30 and upgrading to whatever version you want in the future.
It's possible that amount of packages built for i686 will be somehow limited at some point, but I don't expect that to happen anytime soon.
