"potentially killing gaming" is a pretty bold and broad statement that I don't think you can actually back up. In fact, the Change Proposal lists several alternatives or workarounds to make the "gaming" use case work just fine. There are only very few cases where those workarounds aren't enough (like running Steam through Gamescope, apparently). I have been "gaming" on Fedora for years, without having *any* i686 packages installed on my x86_64 host system. But maybe I'm not "hardcore" enough :P > Being that said, I think all points discussed here are really interesting.

Having a dedicated i686 SIG was already tried back when it was proposed to stop building kernel packages and installer images for i686. That SIG was formed and then basically never did anything. So I don't think it's going to work the second time, either ...
