I don't want to open a new endless thread. :-)

Could someone explain in simple words what that means for a Fedora
user? Talking about i686 architecture, what a user should expect in
F31?

- No more i686 bootable images (this is pretty clear)

Right.

- Can a user running a 32 bit F30 upgrade to F31?

No. From the change page:
"686 users will not be able to upgrade, and will have to move to another supported arch. "

- Can a user install i686 version of a package?

If they are running in 64-bit, then there will still be 32-bit multi-lib libraries available, but not 32-bit applications.

In case you didn't find the detailed change info:
