On which x86 CPU families will Fedora continue to work? I think this change should have been discussed on the x86 SIG mailing list first, as it essentially goes against what the SIG had been trying to do and deprives it of its purpose. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/message/E2S74E7LIFWK65N2V6XHCPGUXD2LTCRF/
