In my opinion, the 32bit is necessary and mandatory still for few year,
the i686 support is good for over 99% of 32bit users, and the best it's a bit
faster than i586 especially in the multimedia field...
(I am saying all that from my experience of MIB with Mandriva upto 2011, where
all our packages stored into MIB repositories for 32bit were: i686 only
rebuilt, also my Kernels were all i686, and noone of our 32bit users had any
problems with i686 arch in their 32bit PCs, as results we had results like from
5 to 15% faster than i586)
More: a move from i586 to i686 would be perceived as an improvement and a
progress!
(i686 is working fine and better in the 99%, and likely more, of all 32bit PCs,
the i586 only capable cpus are hardly findable and are rather like a whitefly)
