I, for one, would be very disappointed if i386 support disappeared; it'd remove a lot of debugging possibilities for me, such as ESDI, etc. And why would we dump i386? It's not particularly hard to maintain...
There are a lot of 386's out there, and throwing that userbase out is plain stupid, considering their other option is DOS...
