If they're a bug dealing with an issue only present on < i686, then yes, |
| 5 |
they likely would be, at least for release media, unless you also |
| 6 |
provide a patch. This is what being "unsupported" means. Now, if you |
| 7 |
give me a patch for some bug that only affects < i686, I'll apply it, |
| 8 |
provided it doesn't break >= i686, but I simply don't have the time to |
| 9 |
support < i686 with the release media anymore. |

By the way, the stage1 tarball and Minimal InstallCD are both built as |
| 12 |
"i386" and will remain that way for the foreseeable future. |
