Apart from the page not being really informative (not your fault!), I'd
expect that they at least ship the 32-bit libGL libraries. That they get
rid of the i386 driver support isn't really surprising as long as they
at least keep compatibility with 32-bit binaries. Now of course that
page does not say that, but alas it's also a topic different from the
one described in the bug. =)

Kind regards
