OTOH, none of the non-cmov i386 systems here run popcon either.

Oh, I'm sure the numbers aren't very accurate, but I don't think that
disproves his point. They're probably not going to be out by a factor of
60...

Popcon gives us some rough numbers to think about:
linux-image-2.6-68649518
linux-image-2.6-486

Many schools are using LTSP on Debian (Edu) and have this hardware as
their thinclients.
Would be a shame if all those school

That affects XO-1 hardware being manufactured now, and C3s are among
the viable CPUs for low cost, low dissipation "school server" style
hardware.

There is new hardware sold today that is (only) compatible to the 486 SX
instruction set. But it runs at 300 MHz. So it would be a pity to loose
support for such hardwar

Hi folks
I would like to raise the minimum CPU requirement for the shipped Linux
kernels in the i386 port to i686 (with cmov). For now I will not propose
a change of the default machine type setting used by the compiler.
This means that Debian will get uninstallable on the following CPUs:
- Intel
