I contend that the number of people who would want to do this is miniscule and in the noise. No one (sane) would start a 32bit app these days, so likely it's legacy support. The cases I know of are steam and wine. I am sure there's 3rd party items beyond that, but even rhel6 is going to go away soon, so these folks are going to have to come up with some solution really soon. >>From my point of view, I don’t think it’s worth getting rid of the > 32-bit x86 repo until we’re at the point where people would not need > to build their own multilib repositories.

I see it as already at the time when there are very few of thoese people and we can keep them going for a while by asking them to use the koji buildroot repo. > Think, for example, the repo that shall not be named.

Sure, they can repoint that to koji buildroot and keep going. > I’m sorry, but I don’t see us getting rid of this for the foreseeable > future without breaking virtually all of our downstreams. Those few that need to be 32bit applications still. I really don't think this is "all of our downstreams". kevin
