That is my position and pretty much everyone else's who has offered to

Birds of a feather, I suppose. :)
Correct. We have 3 months to meet functional and then we will need to
continually show that we are functional.
Good to know, thanks. I guess first pass is tracking down i686-related
bugs. Is the best place to start searching through BugZilla?
I want people to know that I don't want anyone to 'kill'
themselves
for this to be functional as that is not long term viable. If there
are no people who can or want to do this more than spare time.. then
that is the state of things. As pointed out in the LWN article many of
the other distributions are dropping support for the platform due to
that and other issues.
Very good point.
It may be that the number of people with time, energy, knowledge
will
coalesce here or they may so somewhere else. In that case, I would
prefer to get people who need i686 support moved towards that versus
giving false hope here.
Agreed. Hopefully this will be a 'if you build it' scenario, particularly
if the i686 user base is not insignificant.
