[Pulp-list] Dropping i386 arch from koji.katello.org

[Barnaby Court]

Randy,

Looking through Koji the only platform where we are building pulp for i386 strictly is RHEL 5.  For other platforms we are actually building i686 then renaming to i386 as part of the repo assembly.

I'm not sure this is true. We've been building Pulp with i386 support
for all platforms that support i386 for a long time. I don't know for
sure that any users depend on these builds, but I don't think we should
suddenly drop them without determining usage first.

In my opinion, it seems like a better strategy for Pulp to say that
going forward, starting with 2.5 or 3.0, we will no longer build for
i386. Unless of course nobody is using i386 anyway.

Is anybody on this list using i386 with Pulp?
