That has been the case off and on for a long time, with kernels and
glibc split for i386/i686, and then kernels for PAE.  Old hardware is
always going to fall off the tail.

It isn't like the packages are going to be removed, and they'll probably
not get any less testing than they do today.  Also, since VESA will
still be included, it should work on most any hardware.
