Even though both trackers still receive reports, many packagers just
stopped bothering with i686, because there was little response and
there were long-lasting breakages in rawhide. A distro arch is more
than the kernel; what good is having a 32-bit kernel and nothing to
run on it? See how many i686 bugs are closed as WONTFIX or
INSUFFICIENT_DATA.
