It is.

I do not agree with your statement, but believe this to be largely a 
matter of _will_.

It's obvious to me, the ix86 doesn't fit into the Red Hat's business 
plans and their server deployment scenarios, so I'd presume there is a 
strong desire at RH to get rid of the ix86, which collides with a 
community desire to keep their ix86 running Fedora.

Also, it's a matter of fact Fedora has been doing a fairly good job at 
keeping the ix86 in decent shape over the last decade, despite the 
gradually declining numbers of users, keeping Fedora as one of last 
resorts on such HW.
