If a RHEL user still needs i686 multilib support, the solution is to continue to use RHEL-9 either on the host, or as a VM, or as a container. RHEL-9 lifetime has a long way to run yet, and by the end of RHEL-9, i686 multi-lib will be even more niche than it already is. Also in terms of precedent, RHEL has been willing to drop support for old HW/SW platforms. Most recently the big example is the requirement for x86_64-v2 ABI in RHEL-9, further bumped to x86_64-v3 ABI in RHEL-10, which likely affected more RHEL users than dropping i686 will.
