Please take that to FESCo. This discussion is solely about the Fedora
Server Edition deliverables.
At this point, I was just asking for the sake of making it clear
whether or not the proposed change would have the effect that I think
it could have. If currently all the non-live installation media are
Server installation media, this change has quite large effects on some
Fedora users who are not necessarily Fedora Server users.
I think it would be a good idea to have full, bootable and
kickstartable installer available in a flavour neutral fashion. But
making that happen is indeed a separate issue from figuring out the
possible effects of Server flavour dropping i686 stuff.
