Please stop moving goalposts. The goal of my proposal was never to drop support for i686 from *all* possible packages. It's about making it easy to drop unnecessary support for i686 from packages *where it matters to the maintainer*. And for this reason, I think a simple *opt-out* mechanism is the best solution. If you want to talk about making it the norm to drop support for i686 unless the maintainer does *opt-in* to i686 for multilib, then that can be a follow-up Change that can build on top of this one. But please don't conflate the two things, as they are very different.
