Furthermore if we drop i686 builds, then I'd suggest we also drop armv7 builds too. Neither arch provides installable media for Fedora anymore, and QEMU doesn't ship any libraries which would be multilib relevant. Even if there is a 32-bit library that is exec'ing qemu-img, that should be OK with a 64-bit qemu-img binary. Upstream QEMU is actively discussing dropping 32-bit host support too.
