Sounds reasonable.
We have all our i686 machines running Fedora Core 3, now, (which for us is everything but a "hobby OS" --- we decided to spend our budget on those "toys" that are not available for free ;-)); hence, we cannot make any i686 RHEL RPM's any more. Sorry.
I use CentOS ( http://www.centos.org/ ) on all our departments mail, database, platform, authentication, etc. servers and I think that's a far more better choice for critical systems than the Fedora OS-line (which has another purpose). But I suppose that's off-topic here. CentOS requires no budget.
If you require a i686 RHEL RPM's there are three solutions:
(1) Download the source tar-ball and run (2) Download the SRPM --- which we will provide soon (i.e., later today;
(3) Provide us with (access to) a machine running your favorite OS. Then, we can add it to our nightly testing suite to have the RPM's built automatically.
I will consider this, as I have a few serious users here and prefer a solid build by the authors instead of going the tar way on each release. In the meantime, I stick to (2) and (1).
