One of the suggestions there is to "drop the arch." I.e. i686.
If that ends up being the solution that pretty much would force me to drop
the arch too for glusterfs. (GlusterFS has a bit of plumbing around opening
ports in the firewall. It might just fail — silently or not so silently.
It's hard to know, nobody has tested it.
I suspect dropping the arch might cause some amount of heartache in some
circles.
OTOH, I haven't paid close enough attention to really understand what it
means to stop building i686 kernels. Does that mean no Fedora distribution
for i686 hardware? Does it even make sense to keep building glusterfs for
i686?
I would drop the kernel dependency. It doesn't make sense already in
some contexts (containers) and this is a Fedora package for Fedora
users, so I think anyone who would install it would have a kernel, and
if it's a supported Fedora release it would be larger than 4.18.0.
Dropping i686 kernels just means there's no more media/images for i686,
but we keep building everything in case we need it for multilib.
I would assume now you should keep building things, and if there's a
change down the road to limit the scope of i686 more you could drop it
when/if it makes sense then.
