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".
Yeah, I am not a native speaker either, but "encourage" was the best I
could come up with at short notice.
"Allow" doesn't seem right either, because this has technically always
been "allowed".
Maybe "simplify" or "prefer" (though I prefer "prefer" out
of those two).

Package maintainers are allowed to stop building... without fuzz. Opening
bugzillas or sending announcements is no longer required.
Sounds good. I'll adapt the text in the proposal.
The *Detailed Description* section does not say what is changing.
I'll add something here. Must have missed it when I filled out the template.

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
Sure. "Almost half" is an aspirational goal. Not the goal of the
proposal itself. I'll remove that.
Thanks again for your feedback. I sometimes struggle with technical
documents as a non-native speaker.
