Hi,

I'm just wondering that, instead of totally dropping i386, why not just 
drop the ones that are unnecessary from the repos, like VLC, Vim, Nano, 
Plasma, etc.  Since Ubuntu doesn't even have an i386 based distros 
officially, those aren't needed to be there anymore.  That way, you only 
had to trim it down to the ones that are necessary for us who need the 
legacy stuff without the workarounds, like Wine?

Best of both worlds, right?

Jonas
