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.
Right. It probably makes sense to abandon i686 kernels altogether,
then.
If you intend to kill Fedora, and furtherly emphasize the impression
of Fedora not being community driven distro :(
that is FUD and polemic
Well, I of course have disagree. The course Fedora has taken is obvious:
Servers and containers.
And the course Fedora i686 has taken leads users directly to Ubuntu,
Debian, Windows or the trash bin.
i strongly doubt a relevant usebase is on i686 kernels at all for
reasons mutilple times explained - why would anybody run a bleeding
edge distribution seriously on ages old hardware
Like I said before, I doubt the arm, powerpc etc. to have a user-base
which is magnitudes smaller than the i686.
