As far as the idea (glibc-hwcaps) is concerned, both are pretty much the same.
I think https://gitlab.com/x86-psABIs/x86-64-ABI/-/jobs/artifacts/master/raw/x86-64-... is a good read. It's fresh and it might be appropriate to read it first before entering the deeper discussion.
If Fedora manages to maintain baselines, the downstream might follow (CentOS Stream, RHEL 10). I don't think it will be mainstream the other way around. Also if production started it might be hard to push such a huge change ¯_(ツ)_/¯.
Best, Alex

I do think the SuSE method of dealing with this is significantly better and I wish RH would adopt it rather than just deprecating otherwise working hardware:

FWIW Fedora is currently considering this as well: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Optimized_Binaries_for_the_AMD64_Arch... _______________________________________________ CentOS-devel mailing list CentOS-devel@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-devel
