I agree that we should try and support i686, I still have a computer
here which uses it as well.
However, we need more volunteers to help manage and bug fix for this
platform.
If anyone reading is passionate about this platform please consider
helping in development/packaging. Helping Arch will also help us here.

build all of these without one. We are already nearly at building and
patching capacity thanks to all the other issues Arch has thrown downstream.
