Reopen Issue

I am planning to mark this Change proposal as ready shortly:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Drop_i686_support

Note that this it is still quite early (~6 months earlier than technically required) - the current plan is to implement this for F44, even though we still haven't yet passed the deadline for "Changes requiring infrastructure changes" for F43.

This change breaks the FEX rootfs image, since it deliberately pulls in 32-bit and 64-bit x86 packages.

Thanks, I didn't realize that this was a use case that would be affected. Please make sure to mention this on the discussion thread too as soon as the Change is announced so we can figure out how to address this.

What's the 32 bit packages used for in FEX? Can it work with just 64 bit?
