not at this moment =)
I can hardly imagine why it should ever be. Being disk-bound, and
considering that even very old CPUs hardly have trouble keeping up with
the much slower storage devices, I can't imagine a reason for ceph or
anything portable across multiple architectures to tech to *demand*
newer CPUs of any of the supported architectures. Hopefully there will
always be some portable fallback to resort to.

if you are able to pinpoint an FTBFS issue or bug
while using Ceph on
32 bit platforms. i can take a look at it.
Oh, thanks, I didn't mean to burden anyone with that, it's just
something that I care about and would be happy to undertake myself. I
was just surprised that there weren't i686 ceph packages in Fedora 30,
and found comments in the spec file suggesting it didn't work, but I
didn't look into why yet.
