Now let's see if Johnny saying it (yet again) will result in
any drop of the issue any more than I (crossing my fingers
;-).

First off, upstream provider issues.

Secondly, i686 is almost a bare minimum these days.  Even
packages that say ".i386" may have i686 requirements in them.

Third, thank the CentOS team for considering and shipping
i586 kernels when they can.  Frankly, with all the i686
requirements in the software these days, I'm surprised
they're able to.
