Why?  I doubt Atom CPUs are Fedora's primary target.  It's not even a
documented GCC option.  There is such a wide variety of CPUs under this
label that it's not even clear what it would mean.

If it's better than “-mtune=generic” or the GCC default, shouldn't GCC
be fixed?

Fedora 11 has i586 as the base 32-bit x86 architecture.

For Fedora 12, we will switch to i686 as the base architecture (including CMOV), and optimize for Atom processors.

This means we will lose support for the following CPU families:

    Intel i586 (all)
    National Semiconductor Geode processors
    VIA C3 (Ezra and Samuel Cores)
    AMD Geode GX

AMD Geode LX (as used in the OLPC XO laptop) and later Geode NX processors should still work. Those interested are, of course, welcome to set up a secondary arch for older processors.
