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-ABI/abi.pdf?job=build 
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
