I noticed bign-handheld-thumbnailer made it to this list.

Since that project is just a thumbnailer and preferably the version
equivalent to the host os architecture should be installed (and there's no
x86 32-bits Fedora anymore AFAIK), this makes me curious on something.

It seems to me that you're saying "hey, we could remove 32-bits x86
versions from these!", as if a large portion of the community has to agree
beforehand on whether it's a good choice.

This brings it to my question: since to me I am almost sure nobody will
ever install the x86_32 version, although it's perfectly buildable, what
prevents me from, as a packager, to simply disable it for only that package?

Is there a specific policy I should be aware of?

Thanks for your time,
Mateus Rodrigues Costa
