Yup, for removing unused packages on i686, you're already set.
You might even say I've done your paperwork for you :)
The only two cases you'd need to take care to look into are:
- Go binaries that are used by non-Go packages.
Those (and all their dependencies) would need to stay, unless those
non-Go packages would also stop building on i686.
This includes both build-time and run-time dependencies.
Or, if the package in question is noarch, you'd need to make sure that
it's not ever built on a i686 build host, and doesn't use the
functionality provided by the Go binary at runtime.
- Go libraries used for building several language bindings for some
other project (I'm thinking of stuff like protobuf):
The Go bindings for provides-multiple-language-bindings packages would
need to be gated behind "%ifnarch %{ix86}".
So, It won't be as simple as just dropping "%{ix86}" from %go_arches,
I'm afraid :(
