as a contributor I would really like to have i686 as one of the main
architectures. With the current situation, there's no chance to
rebuild many of the packages that could benefit of RHEL 7 multilib
support. RHEL 7 supports 32 bit programs, but we're not really able
to use them in EPEL.
Quick example: I maintain Steam for Fedora, and would like to add it
also to the RPMFusion's EPEL repository; but the package is 32 bit
only and there is currently no way to package 32 bit dependencies
(like SDL2) into EPEL 7.
EPEL doesnt support multilib at all. so its really not going to help
you here.
