Imagecraft cannot create i386 images without cross-building
Metadata
Current evaluation
Imagecraft cannot create i386 images without cross-building because there is no i386 snapd copy. Filed by a maintainer as a known limitation, not a planned change. No activity in 175 days.
Suggested action: keep open
Reason: The issue is explicitly framed by the maintainer as a known limitation rather than a bug to fix, and no code or docs have since addressed i386 cross-building. It remains a valid architectural constraint tied to the absence of an i386 snapd, so it should stay open as a tracked limitation rather than be closed as stale or not-a-bug.
