In general, dropping architectures from packages in released Fedora versions 
is a no go. That said, i686 is special because it is a multilib-only 
architecture, so executables such as podman should not have been shipped for 
i686 to begin with.

Does dropping the 32-bit i686 build also imply you cannot use 32-bit 
containers on a 64-bit architecture? If so, will anybody notice? Since you 
did not use any special naming tricks (both package naming and file naming) 
to allow installing both versions (as in, e.g., wine), one has to go out of 
one's way to install the 32-bit version instead of the 64-bit one, and they 
cannot both be installed at once.
