Fedora 23 Server: Fate of i686?

I would be fine with Server deciding not to worry about i686; OTOH I think this does impact the “Fedora as a whole” situation.  i686 as a primary architecture imposes work on maintainers to make sure that server-related packages work on i686; so if we are fine with not supporting servers on i686, we should perhaps also be fine with not requiring server-related packages to work on i686 in the wider Fedora universe, and so we should drop this burden.

Unless the argument goes that the Server Product target audience is more likely to have fresh hardware and the non-Product Fedora users are more likely to reuse something old, which I guess is plausible enough…
