I would personally be interested in this project. I had to maintain a variation of CentOS 6 at one of my previous jobs and there was a particular need for a 32-bit version (although today with EL7 they can run 32-bit applications under a 64-bit host)

A local hackerspace here utilizes embedded x86 machines currently with CentOS 5 for their core routing environment. The main web frontend is also a 32-bit host running CentOS 6.

I would be happy to test / contribute to an i[36]86 branch of CentOS. I can also provide mirroring of any test tree.

Hi,

I'm in the process of building myself a 32bit tree of the RHEL7 beta as
I do have a few x86 machines I am not ready to retire yet.

Now that CentOS is all open and community etc. I was wondering if
there'd be some interest for me to rebuild the results within the CentOS
project and turn it into an official release long term.
My unfinished work so far is based on an older RHEL5 buildsystem I still
had lying around but I am happy to switch this to the CentOS toolstack
if there's interest.
This would mean filing off the serials, removing trademarks and all
these things which I hadn't planned on doing initially but on the other
hand, it should be very easy doing that benefitting from the regular
CentOS work on these topics.

Is anyone else interested in a i[36]86 build of CentOS7 and would be
willing and able to contribute to it?
Or is x86_64 the only release really needed?

If there's some interest, I am sure this could be turned into a nice
project.

cheers,
Andreas
