And that's a lot of hardware. Half of my machines don't support AVX2.
If you dropped back to SSSE3 then I wouldn't complain as that would
just scrap my 32-bit only machines, but requiring AVX2 is definitely
going too far.
Anyone who wants to build a library with AVX can already do so even
if the library doesn't support runtime detection. You just build
twice, once with and once without and put the AVX-enabled version
in %{_libdir}/haswell.

There should be a science of discontent. People need hard times and
oppression to develop psychic muscles.
