Throughout the last few weeks, I have prepared the entire setup, and it is now time to let 'i586' live its own life.
Given that we can test for this case trivially with [ $(arch) = "i586" ] || [ $(arch) = "i686" ] - can we automatically migrate those users to the new locations? IIRC the plan was to add a post install snipped to some package that is always installed, like the product package. This would avoid a 2nd flow of news stories that start with "Tumbleweed is breaking for (some of its) users".
Weren't there some efforts to make zypp read default repos from files in /usr? Having a package that just ships changed repo files in /usr would be cleaner than than doing it the dirty old way with scriptlets messing around in /etc. As there's some time left until the switch this might be a good opportunity.
