Really?  So Fedora "i686" won't really be i686?  That sucks, and is
confusing.  I still have a number of boxes in service that are i686 but
not apparently "i686".  How can I tell the difference?

Maybe it should be called something other than "i686"?

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
