No Livna nvidia-glx v7167 rpm for i686

The latest NVidia GLX 7167 FC3 RPMs from Livna come
only for i586 architecture. Previously, the driver
was available for both i586 and i686. I'm able to
install the i586 RPM (along with the
kernel-module-nvidia driver RPM of the same version)
but it is incompatible with the i686 kernel I'm
running.
Error message from 'startx':
Error: API mismatch: the NVIDIA kernel module is
version 7.1.0, but
this X module is version 1.0.7167. Please be sure that
your kernel
module and all NVIDIA driver files have the same
driver version.
(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel
module!

# rpm -qa|grep nvidia
kernel-module-nvidia-2.6.10-1.770_FC3-1.0.7167-0.lvn.2.3
nvidia-glx-1.0.7167-0.lvn.2.3
# ls *nvidia*.rpm
kernel-module-nvidia-2.6.10-1.770_FC3-1.0.7167-0.lvn.2.3.i586.rpm
nvidia-glx-1.0.7167-0.lvn.2.3.i586.rpm
Is there a reason Livna is not supplying the i686 RPM?
I haven't noticed any mention of this in recent
posts. Should this be entered as a bug? I've come to
rely on Livna for hassle-free NVidia driver support
and I'm not interested in recompiling NVidia's
incremental driver updates. Please advise.
