There is plenty of 32 bit hardware perfectly capable of doing what needs doing regardless of age. Not everyone needs, or wants, the bloat that newer enables. Not everyone is "speed" sensitive, while most are sensitive to the security that keeping current providesand these are the Fedora relevant users?Surely there are people who need relativly recent or current versions of software other than web browsers who aren't concerned with speed or replacing hardware at an arbitrary chronological age. Photographers using Darktable may well be among them. Under any given roof, it makes sense to keep all machines on the same OS when practical. Who's to say a whole family or business should be using CentOS because one machine is past its prime?
well, who's to say that we stay forever on a level of CPU feature-support while there are instruction sets available for a whole decade which improve performance, save power in case you need fewer instructions doing the same work?
not that i say Fedora should go ahead and build with -mavx but a discussion about SSE3 in 2015 is really odd
