@workingjubilee approached us yesterday in chat asking if it would be a problem if upstream rust would drop "i686-pc-windows-gnu"

I'm preparing an RFC with a peer, but basically we have a lot of problems because

• no one tests the target enough
• no one contributes enough maintenance to it
• the people who do maintain it are already doing a lot and this is like their quaternary thing after also helping out with more general windows support
• we don't even have many downloads for it
  

@ognevny and @1480c1 came out in support of dropping 32bit rust.

Looking at https://packages.msys2.org/packages/mingw-w64-i686-rust we have:

• libimagequant
• libdovi
• rav1e
• librsvg

The first three we can look into dropping right away I think, for librsvg I'll ask GIMP devs again what their status on gimp2 releases will be in the future. @Jehan

If we want to keep librsvg for longer we could just copy the current rust PKGBUILD and keep the current rust version for mingw32, which should work as long as llvm and MSRV play along.
