No, not really, it only 'blocks composes' if the existing stable dracut build can't be used in the compose for some reason. But it is true to say that there are ways in which a primary arch that has no blocking images (as i686 currently is) can impact on the 'deliverability' of blocking images for other primary arches. Yes. And if we think that's a big problem, it is a very legitimate issue to use in support of the argument that i686 should be made a secondary arch. > But it's really a kind of claw back: zombie i686 is > grabbing the leg of other primary archs, and that stops the workflow. > > Making i686 secondary would prevent this?
