Certainly there was a discussion, but I hadn't heard this was definitive, or that it was going to start in f27. (I'm using f28, but the change happened to f27 builds around the branch time.) I would expect this actually being done to be worthy of an announcement. That's why I think this might be a temporary issue. But how I work around it will depend on whether on not there will be official i686 builds again soon.


Sorry for the late response. It is definitive. See FESCo ticket #1737 (https://pagure.io/fesco/issue/1737). The x86 SIG has until September 8th to get organized, or i686 gets pulled from the official kernels.

So, anyone who still uses i686: Now's a great time to join up.
