I doubt that hijacking a thread will endear you to the developers!
Wow I seem to have stirred up a hornet's nest. Sorry guys that was not my intention. Somehow I think if I would have posted to the old thread I would get accused of thread necromancy:

Reading the note on thread hijacking I do not think I'm guilty but while I'm happy to have a drawn out discussion on netiquette I'm fairly sure that here isn't the right place. If anyone would like to continue the discussion I'd be happy to respond off list, or you can grab me on IRC #centos(Lawbringer).
Is it possible to now return to discussing the possibility of i586 support under C5?
