And that's a lot of hardware. Half of my machines don't support AVX2. If you dropped back to SSSE3 then I wouldn't complain as that would just scrap my 32-bit only machines, but requiring AVX2 is definitely going too far. Anyone who wants to build a library with AVX can already do so even if the library doesn't support runtime detection. You just build twice, once with and once without and put the AVX-enabled version in %{_libdir}/haswell.
