If there are no i686 images, and no i686 containers, and anaconda can't
install i686 userspace with x86_64 kernel... is there any regular way to
consume i686 applications? It seems like the only reason to continue
building i686 RPMs would be for multilib (and their build dependencies),
which is a small subset of the total RPMs.
Third parties using the userspace with their own kernels, I know there
were groups using a custom kernel with i686 for various OLPC use cases
still.
