Hi all,
Good news! FESCo accepted our proposal and is giving us a chance to keep x86 support in
Fedora! This is a temporary reprieve contingent upon our staying active and keeping up
with the support issues.
FESCo did add two caveats to our proposal, which are:
* If the kernel team experiences build issues, i686 will be ExcludeArched with a block to
FE-ExcludeArch-x86 until we can address them.
* FESCo would like to see details on supported hardware soon.
I haven't made it all the way through the logs yet, but I encourage the curious to
read more here:

Special thanks to alexpl for attending the meeting.
In addition to the FE-ExcludeArch-x86 bug, I have created a general-purpose tracker bug
for our purposes:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1489998
I haven't figured out how to add mailing lists to the CC list yet. So until then, I
encourage you to add yourself to the CC list.
I'll put together an e-mail to touch base with the kernel team.
