Fedora doesn't ship images for i686, no, but the packages are still built
for it. Dropping the openexr library there would result in all transitive
dependencies (there are hundreds) being FTBFS (since a build failure on any
architecture fails the whole build).

I am sympathetic to dropping i686 support from packages, but if we want to
do this, it needs to be coordinated - either by adding ExcludeArch: i686 to
dependent packages that are already leaf packages on i686, or by
conditionally disabling OpenEXR support on i686 where that is possible.

Either way, it would require patching at least 40+ packages to avoid a
cascade of FailsToBuild / FailsToInstall issues.
