He mailed me personally first, and I've just replied to that
mail. Sorry, I've been falling behind on mail...

What I've said is:

...

During the final parts of the stretch release process, it became clear
that this image is just too small to be useful. It's missing too many
components for both amd64 and i386, so we decided to drop it I'm
afraid.

We've also seen that amd64 has *way* overtaken i386 in terms of users
such that most people downloading an image will not need i386 support
at all now.

Sorry...
