After preliminary discussions with CPU vendors, we propose AVX2 as the new baseline. AVX2 support was introduced into CPUs from 2013 to 2015. See [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Vector_Extensions#CPUs_with_AVX2 CPUs with AVX2].
This proposal seems mostly like an experiment in disguise to find out whether the Fedora developers can agree on *something*, and quite clearly the answer is yes, at least this once we can all agree to disagree with the proposed change.
For the record, none of the ~10 computers at my house, including my current work laptop, support AVX2. Such a change would force me to move the entire family away from Fedora, and would be "interesting" to try develop rpm on, say, Debian. Would make for some catchy headlines though ;)
