Last year it was decided to increase the minimum CPU features for the

accidentally, in squeeze.)

This was implemented in the Linux kernel packages starting with Linux
4.3, which was uploaded to unstable in December last year.

I guess the answer is "no", but just to be sure: does this means that i386
supported processors need to implement SSE2?

no.
