It cost resources. Especially for testing.


Think of the big picture matrix of OS + arch combinations.


http://spacewalk.redhat.com/yum/1.3/

Fedora 13
1) i386
2) x86_64

Fedora 14
3) i386
4) x86_64

RHEL 5
5) i386
6) x86_64

RHEL 6
7) i386
8) x86_64


People tend to re-use old hardware as test-beds. A lot of this hardware is still 32bit.

On the other hand, I agree with Cliff, it costs resources and thus time and money.

How about a compromise? Drop i386 support for Fedora and keep it for EL5 and EL6?

The other question that arises is: How would this affect RHN-Satellite?

Thanks,

Luc
