I'm going to be as clear as I possibly can here.  Red Hat, as a
company, is not going to put resources into fixing issues found on
Pentium III machines in Fedora, regardless of whether or not this
proposal passes.  There is an x86 SIG who was tasked with that kind of
activity.  The SIG should be fixing the issues it has responsibility
for.
