As a result, many important package are dependency-failures on i686, including all gstreamer plugins, and thus all media players and web browsers. This branch should not have been merged until these issues were fixed. Now, i686 users won't be able to get important security updates such as the recent icecat fixes (for which there are active exploits seen in the wild) in a timely fashion. Mark
