Almost every release mentions WoW64 improvements lately ... so it
seems to be progressing:
https://www.winehq.org/news/

The Fedora package also seems to have changes to start supporting this:
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/wine/commits/rawhide

Though at this point, "wine" still pulls in wine-wow32, which is i686
and pulls in 32-bit libraries.
Not sure if the eventual plan is to make the wine -> wine-wow32
dependency optional (or drop it entirely)?

Thanks! Looking forward to dropping i686 too? :)
