I talked to damentz of the Liquorix kernel project, who was able to supply a reason why AVX/AVX2 should be included in the short -Cx output. Supplying a clear explanation of why something is being requested is generally a much better strategy than saying you want it because it's missing and should be included.

In general, when requesting a new feature, please do not bother the Debian maintainers with something that is not a bug.

I've also created a new cpu-flags.txt documentation on the inxi-perl branch (where all docs live) of the github inxi project pages.

This new document explains, more or less, why certain flags are used for the -Cx list vs the -f full flags list, as well as having links to cpu flag explations, source files, and a fairly current copy of a fairly full list.

This change will not enter Debian for a long time due to the recent freeze for next stable, so don't hold your breath. But it is in the pinxi version of inxi, from inxi-perl, and will be in next master inxi (which will be 3.0.34), whenever that comes out.

thanks, Harald
