Yast package dependency on kernel on i586 has been resolved. Libor does not see any compelling reason, other than support for "old" hardware, for building 32bit kernel so the 32bit topic is closed for the moment on his side.
Maybe we should keep Jump with aligned with SLE as much as possibe, to make the migration path to SLE as easy as possible. We don't have 32bit kernel in SLE therefore it shouldn't be in Jump or Leap as well.
This topic was raised because of the yast2 buildrequires on kernel. See SLE RM section. Libor is open to hear any other reasoning to have 32bit in Leap.
I wonder why did the question of 32-bit Leap kernel appear now. As far as I remember, we never had i586 Leap kernel - or even i586 Leap. We do build part of Leap codebase for i586 architecture but that's only used to provide -32bit compat packages. (For the sake of completeness, there are i386 configs in openSUSE-42.1 branch but that was experimental and wasn't based on SLE12-SP1.) IIRC there were some complaints when it turned out Leap was not going to be released for i586 and the answer was that it can be available in ports if someone wants it strongly enough to make the necessary work... which never happened. So if there are some problems with YaST build dependencies, why did they never surface in Leap 42.2 through 15.1 which didn't have i386/i586 kernel either?
