Necessity is the mother of all invention.  If you need this solved by
CentOS Stream 10, you really want to solve it now and get that
solution into F39 or F40 at the latest.


As much as I would like to see the i686 problem dealt with finally, I am not sure what is done with a fundamental change like this after the closing period for such changes for Fedora 39. [It does lead to a funny problem.. if i686 were to get removed after the mass rebuild because a cascade of FTBFS or other reasons.. does FESCO need a change proposal :)]
