IMO, this is a nonsensical proposal.

The ix86 family definitely is much wider used than any other secondary 
architecture Fedora has been supporting and ignores the fact the i386 is 
a multilibbed/~arched archecture of the x86_64.

It's almost equal to it.

It means pushing ix86-Fedora users to use Windows and Ubuntu.
