We stopped shipping the distributions in 6fa8fe9 in October 2023. At the time we preserved build support just in case. I don't believe anyone has complained about the loss of x86 Linux distributions. I don't believe there is compelling value in PBS supporting x86 Linux distributions. If someone wants to run Python on x86 Linux, they can always use CPython's official build systen, which still supports targeting x86 Linux. This commit rips out our support building for x86 Linux.

OK with me. Is there a particular reason you want to take it out or just general cleanup?

General cleanup. I want to do some housekeeping on the container images as part of standing up native aarch64 builds. |
