In general, dropping architectures from packages in released Fedora versions
is a no go. That said, i686 is special because it is a multilib-only
architecture, so executables such as podman should not have been shipped for
i686 to begin with.
Does dropping the 32-bit i686 build also imply you cannot use 32-bit
containers on a 64-bit architecture? If so, will anybody notice? Since you
did not use any special naming tricks (both package naming and file naming)
to allow installing both versions (as in, e.g., wine), one has to go out of
one's way to install the 32-bit version instead of the 64-bit one, and they
cannot both be installed at once.
