Until (unless?) we have data indicating that this is a major drain

community resources, I'd push back on a change that actively excludes part

non-SSE2 systems with the i686 architecture is a not-insignificant burden
on the community, then I ask that this proposal be updated to include a
solution that allows us to not push out part of the community, e.g. Ajax's
i586 suggestion.
Fwiw, Qt5 officially doesn't support non-sse2 systems either. kde-sig has
had to carry patches/hacks to make it work (or at least be buildable), but
I'd love to be able to not have to do that anymore.
