So...we have some issues here, and this got moved to core. I wanted to
go back and see who signed off to see who tested, and am quite
surprised to see not a single signoff for i686. Why on earth did this
get moved out of testing?

Usually I don't like to point fingers at a single person, but we had a
clear breakdown of policy here, and its hard to spread the blame.
