OK at the moment it looks like we seem to average 311,000 ip addresses
per day doing a daily checkin for Fedora. Out of those ~13,400 are
x86_32. The majority of the x86_32 are pre-F28 with only about 3400
(about 14% of total x86_32 and ~1% of all Fedora users) of them being
F28,F29,F30, or rawhide. The opposite is true for the other
architectures with the majority running F30, then F29, then F28 and
then a thin long tail for everything before that.]

Now these statistics are not absolute numbers and could hide all kinds
of things.. I would say though that the majority of x86_32 is on
versions we no longer support and so we do not need to worry about
breaking large numbers of systems.
