The i686 SIG was given multiple releases to organize. The original proposal which triggered the SIG to form was for F27, the proposal to finally kill it and declare the SIG inactive was F31. But this is different from the i686 kernel SIG in some critical ways. First, the rate of churn around the boot code is massively smaller than the churn in kernel code. Second, it seemed that most of the people who showed interest in the i686 SIG had little to no kernel experience, while Hans and others interested should be capable of doing the work as long as they are willing. And lastly, many of the i686 issues which popped up were issues which kept the kernel from building, so there was more urgency around them. While I don't have plans to participate in the BIOS boot SIG, I do think it is in capable hands provided the people who have commented interest in participating continue to do so.
