If you require SSE2, you limit the usefulness of the i686 kernel to
basically just a single generation of CPUs, the next generation
introduced
x86_64.
Well, there is one very important CPU family which came some years
later: Intel Atom. There are still many netbooks out there and the first
Atom generations are 32 bit only afaik.
you know how old SSE2 is?
they pretty sure support it
Yes they do, I wanted to state that we're not talking about "just a
single generation of CPUs" because x86_64 came.
