Honest question: How do I do that? Do you have a suggestion?
Encourage Dropping Unused / Leaf Packages on i686
The word "encourage" is rather weird here. I am not a native speaker, but that
sound to me like we are agitating for active removals. Like we go to the
packagers and ask them: Could oyu please drop i686 from your leaf packages now?
Should this better say "allow"? Or "make it normal to".
Package maintainers are encouraged to actively stop building...
Package maintainers are allowed to stop building... without fuzz. Opening
bugzillas or sending announcements is no longer required.
The *Detailed Description* section does not say what is changing.
In particular, stopping to build for i686 could potentially free up
almost
half of the existing x86 builder resources in koji.
This sounds like a goal. Don't mention it. Focus on people instead: In
particular, when packagers drop i686 they have more time to spend with their
children :D
Fedora packages will incrementally drop support for the i686
architecture
(32-bit x86), where this support is no longer required. This is
intended to
reduce resource consumption of build servers.
Same thing.
