Yes, the other option would be to move to Debian or find another rpm-based

what seems to be so common recently, dropping what still works well. This
hurts our community. This hurts our users. It'd be one thing to make it so
that QA requirements were effectively dropped on 32 bit, but there was no real
reason to drop 32 bit support. It still worked, and quite well.
It didn't work well in general, though it may have worked well for you. It
has been getting more difficult to support i686 in the kernel over time. There
were very few people willing to help Fedora's kernel maintainers with bugs in
i686 kernels. They asked for help multiple times over more than a year and
they didn't get a significant amount of help. If you want you go back and
find the threads covering these requests.
