Because I still use an i686-only system occasionally, and I prefer to keep old hardware working with my favourite distribution. I agree that building packages manually for a small percentage of users is pointless. But most of the packages can be built for i686 without any modifications. We just need an automated build server, which takes the job. -- György Balló Trusted User
