i686 has been common for 6 years now (1997 P2/K6), so its hardly just in
the past two years. ;) I agree the split should be at the i686 border
assuming this doesn't harm athlon systems.
Release Dates (i686+)
---------------------
Pentium Pro - Nov 1995
Pentium II - Feb 1997
Pentium III - Feb 1999
Pentium IV - Nov 2000
K6 - Apr 1997
Athlon - Aug 1999
