I guess the only thing that really surprises me is that dropping i586 hasn't been done in Tumbleweed first.
or risk non-support?
As I wrote already some time ago, I'm not very confident about the level of i586 openSUSE support we have been providing for the last few years. Sure, we may run it through openQA (actually, I'm not even sure about that) but how many beta testers run it on their machines (compared to x86_64)? How likely are you going to get help with an i586-specific bug? I, for one, would have to install such system first as I haven't been running one for years. And I wouldn't be too happy about it as 32-bit address space is severely limiting which requires a lot of ugly hacks, hindering the debugging severely. I'm afraid discontinuing i586 would be something I would call acknowledging the state of things and stopping pretending rather than some big and groundbreaking step.
