The x86 port still supports a Pentium, I don't see any reason to drop

It is surprisingly quite a lot of effort.
Fedora no longer supports Pentium actually. It was dropped some time
ago (around Fedora 12 from memory).
F11 was the last version that supports i586. F12 is i686-only.
The lowest level of support in
Fedora for x86 is now Pentium Pro (Basically i586 + CMOV) which allows
support for the OLPC XO-1 (AMD Geode Processor) and the only reason
it's still at that level is because there's around 1.5 million XO-1
united deployed and still be actively used and upgraded to current
Fedora releases (The just released 12.1.0 is based on Fedora 17, the
under development 13.1.0 release is based on Fedora 18). I know
mainline Fedora would like to drop the support for that too if they
could.
Might as well wait until the whole 32-bit branch can be dropped.
Practically all x86 CPU made in most of the past decade is x86-64.
