Exactly. I really do not understand this rush change. The original change, to remove only 32 kernel
is definitely the way to go. But This one, should be postponded to f32, with much better contingency
plan.

This proposal has nothing to do with wine/steam. They will continue to work just fine, multilib will still work as it's mentioned in change proposal.

"multi-lib x86_64 repos will not be affected and all packages will still be built for i686 for this use case."

All in all, I am +1 for this change. I don't even remember when I needed to build something 32 bit on 64 bit system locally, and as it stands in the proposal, it should still be doable.
