I'd hope the plan is to do this much the same way as centos.
Drop i686 kernels and programs, but continue to provide
i686 libraries for legacy 32 bit programs which have no
source code so they can continue to run. There are a lot of them
out there people use (adobe reader comes to mind).
Unless an active maintainer community forms around the i686 kernel and
boot process, yes, the above is the plan; we won't drop i686 userspace
on x86_64 kernel for... a long time.
