Perhaps you could share with the list how used/important wine.i686 is
these days? Are most folks still using it? Slowly switching to
wine.x86_64?
Yes, wine.i686 is still important in the year 2022.
While I don't have a comprehensive list of all use cases stashed somewhere one area
I can think of is the fact that Windows application installers may be 32-bit yet
carry 64-bit binaries. Examples: 7Zip, Firefox, VirtualBox - Download the .exe files
and run "file" on them.
There could also be a game or two that is still 32-bit only. I believe most are
transitioning to 64-bit, but I remember a few times with Blizzard games (Starcraft
2, Diablo 3) where the 64-bit binary doesn't work under Wine and the 32-bit version
works. I haven't checked lately, but the Windows Steam client may also be 32-bit
only. The Linux client is 32-bit.
