This thread's goal is to coordinate a larger independent effort - here I seek validation of my analysis, and assistance with realization.Perhaps it's time to file a new proposal and make i686 builds off by default? If we have to add ExcludeArch to 3.400 packages + those which already exclude i686 builds, how many packages are left if we invert the logic and add some magic macro to enable i686 build?
+1 If "inverted" way is technically possible, I would very much prefer it.Even if majority packages should be initially explicitly enabled for i686, I think that is much better approach, because after the i686 builders are removed, we will be forced to do the cleanup. Not leftover `ExcludeArch: %{ix86}` will stay behind.
BTW this likely mean that at the same time, the already existing `ExcludeArch: %{ix86}` should be removed, because they won't have any purpose (although I am sure that some maintainers might use these platforms also for other distributions).
