I think the main resource cost for us is the build farm and binary
cache.  Idea: what about building full i686-linux set only on stable
branches?

Note: obviously, callPackage_i686 will still use i686 even if "evaluated
for x86_64", which is what we want for wine, skype, etc.

When creating a new stable, I think the month between branch-off and
release should be enough to fix any important i686-specific issues, as
they tend to be relatively rare.
