Say, do we have i386 release notes for trixie then?
Not specifically. For bookworm and older we had one release-notes
document per architecture (produced from one set of source code with an
#ifdef-equivalent) but for trixie we have a single release-notes
document that is common to all architectures,
https://www.debian.org/releases/testing/release-notes/ (and any
architecture-specifics are called out in the text).
If not (and perhaps even if), might also make sense to document
the state of i386 support in the amd64 release notes
Already partially done, with more changes pending:
https://www.debian.org/releases/testing/release-notes/issues.en.html#reduced-support-for-i386,
https://salsa.debian.org/ddp-team/release-notes/-/merge_requests/238,
https://salsa.debian.org/ddp-team/release-notes/-/merge_requests/261
If someone wants to write up the removal of Secure Boot support for
the relatively rare amd64 machines that have 32-bit EFI (Bay Trail and
possibly some older Macs), the "Issues" section seems like it would be
the place to put that, too.
