Well, I am not convinced about this. Especially that SLE no longer has an x86 implementation.
I'm going to say something that will be very unpopular but I feel it really needs to be said. Should we really care so much about i586? I don't have any 32-bit system since something like 2008, I definitely haven't seen any 32-bit x86 CPU in usual e-shops for at least 5 years and I'm not sure I would be able to buy one today if I tried hard.
Specifically, what would be gained by dropping the i586 build? I still have use-cases for 32bit, but I could just remain on the last release with support.
I already tried to explain it once but, OK, again: I did _not_ propose to drop i586 build. I just wanted to say that the fact that SLE is not released for and supported on i586 shouldn't be seen as an argument against basing next (or any future) openSUSE release on SLE packages.
