Fedora inches closer to dropping x86-32 support

"Following discussion on the mailing list, the Fedora team is taking another small step away from x86-32 support, with developers urged to stop building i686 versions of "leaf packages" – in other words, packages that nothing else depends upon."

This is not quite right, due to a misunderstanding of the Change process. Fedora is a very open project, so major proposals like this have to be publicly proposed and discussed. That's the point this Change is at. It has been proposed, and now is under discussion. That's why the mailing list thread title has "proposal" in it. It has not yet been approved by FESCo (which is the body that approves or rejects Changes). Nobody is actually being "urged" to do this as of yet; they only would be if the Change is approved.
