If we stop supporting Pentium II and Pentium III, I have to buy a whole
lot of new hardware.   Dead serious.

Could we do i686 as a secondary arch, and swap with i386 further in the
future?

While I understand you may have a lot of older hardware, the point of a
*seconday* architecture is that it's not the primary architecture target.
Even if we didn't split off older CPUs, we're still primarily targeting
newer machines.

Hope I'm not sidetracking.
Was there also talk of all 64bit cpu's
getting a 64bit kernel?
Even if install was 32bit?
