Well, that's independent for the state as primary vs secondary architecture.
If we remove i686 as a primary architecture, we will not have i686 packages
in the x86_64 repository. Is this what we want?
We're in the process of redefining what constitutes a secondary arch
and this is part of that consideration. There's a bunch of proprietary
common third party tools/apps that people rely on that still need i686
around.
(For me, armhfp is more more of a pain point due to slow build
times.)
That will be changing soon, we have the replacement hardware and now
F-24 is out it's one of my primary focuses to get it into production.
