None of the linked blockers are core packages, and some of them are outright
not designed to work on anything other than 64 bit. I really don't understand
how you can see that as justification.
Even though both trackers still receive reports, many packagers just
stopped bothering with i686, because there was little response and
there were long-lasting breakages in rawhide. A distro arch is more
than the kernel; what good is having a 32-bit kernel and nothing to
run on it? See how many i686 bugs are closed as WONTFIX or
INSUFFICIENT_DATA.
