Sure. Since some people are talking about pentium and 686 compatibility as
the logical place to draw the line, it would be interesting to have a table
comparing the features of all of the variants, if there are major
differences. Although from following the thread on devel the other day
(I'm not subscribed there, just on -policy) it looked like there was no
real momentum behind that idea. I suppose I should reread the end of the
thread and see what the consensus is now.
Later,
