So I take from reading the ticket that i686 will still be a primary
architecture?

I'm interested in this because the i686 kernel doesn't boot in Rawhide
on top of qemu (something that could have been detected by use of
'qemu-sanity-check' as I have suggested on many previous occasions).

Still investigating this, and I've not filed a bug yet, but the stack
trace is below.
