I have a computer without SSE3. It runs Fedora just fine. I initially had 1 
GiB of RAM in it, I upgraded it to 3 GiB.

What he means is that Fedora policies DO NOT allow REQUIRING those 
instruction sets. Runtime detection is of course fine.

The problem we are having now is upstream projects that do not support ANY 
kind of fallback, not even at compile time. (Those are also inherently non-
portable because they don't work on any other CPU architecture.) Chromium/V8 
is another such problem program.
