That's rather unfair. Fedora already has minimum system requirements,
and they're not small. The installer requires quite a chunk of memory,
and we chose to drop support for pre-i686 processors because they're
ancient, not really up to running Fedora, and anyone stuck with one has
alternatives that would be better for them then any attempt to run
Fedora on that hardware.

One of the great things about the whole Free software system is that one
distribution dropping something doesn't mean those users are completely
screwed with nowhere to go; it just means they might be better off with
something more tailored to their needs.
