Are you aware of any upstream users of 32-bit systemd? Or some other
distro that requires it?
I ask because I see several responses along the same lines (I use it
to build 32-bit packages), but unless *Fedora* uses those resulting
32-bit builds it seems like an odd reason to keep i686 around. Yes,
being able to build for i686 means you need i686 but the root of the
question is why do you need to build for i686?
If there are other distros that still support 32-bit systemd, could
you do your 32-bit build and test against those instead?
