It'll hit the embedded world pretty hard. Today you can buy a brand new soekris box that only runs i586. Brand new off the shelf, today. My 6 or 7 year old one is running right now
Very valid points. However, we need to pick our battles. At this moment, we have very scarce manpower, and a prime objective: get rid of systemd for Jessie (it being usable) and Ascii (completely). Adam Borowski expressed it way better than I could:

Reverting this in a derivative is possible, although it lands you pretty much exactly in Raspbian's position. You'd need to: * reconfigure and rebuild kernel for -585 flavour * undo the not-yet-done merging of libc6-i686 * (no source changes) rebuild every package! * watch out for regressions
==8<==================After that (or even for Ascii), we can broaden our view of "user freedom to choose" to other chosings, and i585 would be a good first step, but at this moment I (humbly) think it is not worth (even being very important).
The root cause of the problem is the Debian/Ubuntu ecosystem is moving away from the "universal OS" mantra and toward being a GNOME bootloader for tablets and everything else can just go away. Thats the war... abandonment of entire industry sectors or weird init decisions are merely a small battle, the war is the move toward turning the OS into a GNOME bootloader for tablets.
