The dropping 386 from the i386 port seems odd to my mind :-) Seriously, I think that dropping support for 386 will do more harm in the marketing arena than good tht the similified code base will give us. Just my two cents. The 486 *MUST* remain supported through at least 5.x. There lots of good, cheap 486 single board computers being built and deployed today.
