So I guess this is the part I don't really understand (and I guess why I
don't see this proposal as a "win") - how is i686 painful to package
maintainers for non-delivered packages?  Maybe I'm just missing
something, but what causes issues?

Basically - why would I as a package maintainer care about excluding
i686?  The effort involved for some packages to make sure they're just a
leaf (so it'd be okay to exclude i686) just doesn't really seem worth
it, if there's no practical gain for the maintainer.

I apologize that my earlier email was attacking; my usual inclination is
not to take small steps when there's really a bigger step that would be
better in the big picture, and I didn't communicate that well.
