It says a lot about linux that them dropping support for an over 20 year old CPU is a big anouncement
It’s apparently the Pentium 1 and older, so those chips were discontinued in 1999. Almost 26 years old.
Ditching i686 could be a problem for people running 32-bit stuff on modern hardware, though. I expect that’ll hang around for a while yet.
For.hardware that old you can probably just use an older kernel
Or a more old hardware friendly system like netBSD
