Another option would be to retain the current i586 support, and add the
i686+SSE2 as a new primary arch, with an eye towards depreciating the
current x32 support down the road. There would seem to be less initial pain
involved here, and everyone would get what they want :)
No, there would be lots of additional pain. Now you as a package maintainer
would have to wait for i586, i686, x86_64, ppc, and ppc64. Then we'd have to
compose repos for them, and iso, and testing, and updates, and...
No. Just no.
