What else is there that people care about in Fedora that's only i686?

Well, wine? I don't know how much 32bit wine is used these days.

Quite a lot. In fact, it's best to think of Windows programs as being exclusively 32-bit. Even 64-bit Windows programs usually ship with 32-bit installers, because otherwise they'd have no way to control what happens on a 32-bit machine.

For what it's worth, we are trying to avoid depending on 32-bit host libraries (except for some 32-bit MinGW libraries), but it's a long and difficult process.
