seriously, we had this discussion on factory or somewhere else like
month/s? ago. i never understood the greed of cpu feature levels for
the basic packages to make a system work. other people also wrote
about special cpu featuresets being used in libraries and binaries
where it would make sense and let various code paths decide there what
the cpu would offer etc. thats how i understood it. its not that long
ago that opensuse went to the x64 / x86-64 world to begin with.
anyhow, i kind of feel over the past years that this opensuse project
is strongly headed down the abandonware path :///// :(
so sad
