I am in vehement disagreement with this and repeatedly expressed it

BTW Ralf, are you prepared for incoming inevitable Fedora debacle,
I am semi-prepared :-)
I am occasionally trying other distros and have a i386 multi-boot
configuration on my (i386) Netbook, consisting of Win8.1, Fedora,
openSUSE and Ubuntu.
On this netbook, sse2 would not be a problem. Should Fedora drop the
i386, this netbook will likely be converted Win8.1-only and will be
used as dedicated Win-machine to serve those few cases I can not avoid
using Win.
did you choose a decent distribution for relocation of machinery?
Not wrt. to the PIII, Firstly, these "abandon sse", abandon sse2",
"abandon i386" discussions have taken me by surprise (IMO, these are a
coup d'etat).
I'll definitely will try to keep this machine running. So far, I
haven't investigated which distros still support non-sse2
architectures. If CentOS7 did, I would switch to that now.
Unfortunately the initial promise of the CentOS project to provide
one, also doesn't seem to be wanting to become true.
That said, I'll likely try openSUSE first, then Ubuntu and if all else
fail - I'll likely resort CentOS6. But, as no decision has been drawn
yet, at least for now, I don't feel a pressing need to act.

I honestly do not see any reason to make so much noise about it.
Where are 16 bit OS'es today? Does anyone want to go back to them?
Not me.
So, I think it is inevitable that support for 32 bit OS'es will come to
an end.
