RHEL 10 would retain the v2 baseline that RHEL 9 carries if there was
no change, so that equipment is still out of scope for RHEL usage
regardless.

Generally speaking, we are looking at hwcaps and ifunc usage in other
areas.  The proposed X86 SIG might delve into that as well.  However,
the baseline architecture requirement for RHEL 10 will still be x86_64
v3 and any optimization work would be focused on that or newer
hardware platforms.
