There's a new "Validity of i686 as a release blocker" thread on
fedora-devel where the kernel team is saying that they are no longer
interested in supporting i686:
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2015-August/213118.html

We should make up a position whether we want to continue with the i686
version of the Workstation product. I can see two outcomes depending on
which way this goes; one would be that we ask the kernel team to
continue supporting i686, and the other one is that we stop shipping the
i686 Workstation images.

I don't think anything in between (we ship unsupported images) makes sense.

I am personally of the mind that it's time to let i686 go. Perhaps not
for F23, but F24 for sure.
