Let's see where we end up this time. Round 2. It is apparent that majority of packagers participating in discussion are for or not strongly against dropping i686.
I guess no time frame will be good enough for some people, but I don't want to rush too much. Although I agree with Gerardo that we should cut out i686 from archiso, maybe starting from January build.
About definitive end of i686 support, I think 9 months from now is enough time to migrate existing installations to some different distribution.
What parts of our infrastructure will need to be upgraded to reflect that? dbscripts, ABS (which sounds like another candidate for dropping but let's talk about it another time) and devtools?

Friendly reminder what I'm going to push through if nobody opposes.
Bart?omiej I'm not thrilled about having to migrate my old box that I use every now and then to another distro but I'll manage.
What I want to verify is that the change you're pushing is the minimal possible change to dbscripts, ABS and devtools per Florian's request, right? For example, it's fine to delete the *-i686-build symlinks. But archbuild should keep the part of its code that determines an arch from $0 so that we are still future proof in supporting multiple architectures.
