Yeah I forget that this isn't just a single static page, but there's
more going on with it. OK so how about doing 1 and then punt? i.e.
just wait to see who shows up for the testing party, and then decide
exactly what this i686 variant page would look like? Maybe it's a
mirror in functionality to the main one; or maybe it can just be a
static checklist?

There are quite a few things in the matrix that are considered
"likely" working for one arch if it works on the other. Whoever's
testing may end up wanting to chop up that page into something smaller
anyway, depending on their resources. If that's plausible, all the
more reason for you to not spend a lot of time on this until there's
less uncertainty. There's a good chance it'll mostly be tested in VMs
running on 64-bit hardware.
