Given our past history with passive requests for help, I think it
might be beneficial to put a time limit on things. For example, if no
i686 Kernel SIG steps up and agrees to handle bugs on that platform,
we should strongly consider demoting i686 to secondary architecture
for installation media at the Fedora 23 branch point (about six months
from now).
Note: I'm only suggesting that we would demote the kernel and install
media, *NOT* the 32-bit runtime libraries on an x86_64 system; we
would still need to be building those.
How do you propose demoting to secondary only the kernel/install
without the userspace? Do you mean de-emphasise the i686 bit platform?
