Hello Fedora!

As you may or may not be aware, there is an active discussion on the development side as to whether or not we continue to support the x86 architecture.

There are a lot of exciting things happening within the Fedora community on top of the amazing and significant effort we put into making sure Fedora is stable, robust, and on the bleeding edge. And unfortunately, the contributors doing all of this work are a limited resource so we have to prioritize where we focus our attention.

Since x86-based hardware isn't very common anymore, it is understandable that most of the development side of the community is ready to move on and focus on other things that directly impact them. However, some of us still have a desire to see Fedora continue to support this venerable architecture.

Is x86 support still important to you? If so, then come join us! We need all of the help we can get. Not a developer? No problem! We still need people with hardware to help us evaluate software.

For those interested, you can find more information on the x86 Architectures page:
   https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/x86

You can also find us on the x86 mailing list:
   x86@lists.fedoraproject.org
   https://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/x86.lists.fedoraproject.org/

We're also holding an organizational meeting on IRC in #fedora-meeting-2 on September 6th at 1900 UTC. We'd love to see you there!
