Plenty has already been said here about why we should not do this (and OMFG we should NOT do this), and I am in complete agreement.
(I have 0 machines, of 3 in my personal network, with AVX2 support. My current desktop I only bought a year and a half ago, and it's not AVX2 capable! My laptop and fileserver are 5 and 12 years old, respectively, so good luck with that.) But even if we WERE to do this, then this: > == Release Notes == > Release notes must mention how users can determine whether their > system supports AVX2 prior to upgrading, for example by running > <code>grep avx2 /proc/cpuinfo</code>. ...is not an acceptable WAY to do this. grep /proc/cpuinfo!? Are you kidding me? Unless it includes mechanisms in the install and upgrade process that would automatically prevent existing Fedora 31 users from upgrading their machines to a release that won't run on them, this proposal is doubly outrageous. (I assume the F32 installer wouldn't even boot, in this proposed scenario, so at least new (non-)users would be covered. "...Yay.") _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected]
