the thing is if you don't release i586 stuff, the i586 users silently go elsewhere
I for one would have a much easier life if you continued i566 releases (for ugs platform), but the alternative is python/C based stuff, which seems to have continued 586 support.
i personally am stuck on a (several) 32 bit machine (s)  (win or linux)
also, when a distro gathers is dependencies, it probably:
- does that maybe once per year  
- says nothing if it fails.

while I am here, maybe you could expand a bit the 'compiling from source' documtentaion, if it is in C I am fine,
 but java, I am completely lost.
