pcre2-10.36-1.fc33.i686. I tried dnf remove, and it proposed to remove
nearly ninety other items. I noticed that all of them also ended
in .i686; so I told it to go ahead.

        Was this a real dumb-cluck trick, or should I do the  like on my
other machines?

Unless you have some legacy stuff, wine, or steam, you'll probably be fine.
