If you intend to kill Fedora, and furtherly emphasize the impression of
Fedora not being community driven distro :(
That's ridiculous. You can't just demand that things be done in a
"community driven distro". If you or someone else doesn't step up to
maintain the i686 kernel and fix bugs, then it should be dropped as
there's no point in having a kernel that doesn't work. Complaining
about it and doing nothing is just noise. So far, I've only seen you
complain. If you have a specific proposal and resources to continue
supporting this 7 year old platform then by all means, step up.
Otherwise I suggest you stop complaining.
