I would really like to understand why we have to support P7LE for another
release.
Especial as I know that Mike Wolf is working on getting the new P8 hardware
for COPR.
I will wait for you and Dan to sort this out before taking any action
in glibc Fedora Rawhide.
My obvious hope would be that the current glibc changes stay as-is since
they are the most optimal runtimes for the latest hardware.
