Hiyas,
now that F12+ is built for i686, can I expect that all Fedora x83 supported CPUs in F12+ support MMX? I have a package (john) that can then be made simpler.

I'd say that you certainly can. Even Via Samuel is MMX enabled. Actually any processor built after the original Pentium (i.e. >= "Pentium MMX") is, AFAIK

On that note, I see we have no pentium2 arch in rpmrc, which would be useful in this situation.

Actually, the original i686, Pentium Pro, doesn't include MMX. So barring further discussion, the answer is probably no, you can't depend on MMX being present yet.
