I agree. No longer building kernels and composing bootable images for
i686 is a relatively small change with limited user impact.
But stopping to compose i686 repositories at all, which means adapting
multiple processes (mock, copr, etc.), is throwing out the baby with
the bathwater.

(I for one am still semi-regularly building stuff in the mock
fedora-rawhide-i686 chroots, especially for testing if things still
work on 32bit systems (be it armv7hl or i686) - I know that this will
probably continue to work somehow, but making it more complicated is
hostile to developers and packagers who care about their packages
working on all architectures.)
