An i686 build found a 32 bit assumption in my code last week.  This
happens from time to time and I think it's still useful.  So even
though I don't think any of my packages are relevant on i686, for me
it's worth keeping (some of) them alive.

Having said that I obviously have no objection if a packger wishes to
drop i686 builds from their own package.
