That is why I proposed a clarification. I don't have any RH machines here,
and every one I used in the past 2 years were 686+, so I could not verify
it.

Since it would be either a misinterpretation of what redhat distributes,
or CentOS building for i586, I got confusing, at least for me.

I really can't see anyone paying for RHEL and using it on outdated
hardware. Of course I might be wrong here, and I'm sure there are
some exceptions. Maybe test boxes. In any case, I can understand why
RH doesn't ship 586- kernels.

PS: Drifting too far into politics now. If we decide to continue this
discussion, I would like to suggest the linux-practices list :)
