  ==== 21 February 2015: i486 architecture removal from PLD Th ====
  
  On 28 February 2015 i486 architecture will be removed from PLD Th main tree.
+ 
+ This also means drop of support for i586 class CPUs and some old, rare "degraded" i686 chips lacking cmov instructions support.
  
  Growing number of packages that either do not build for i486 or are severly crippled (like IcedTea or programs requiring atomic operations) with loss of users of this architecture caused us to finally abandon it.
  
  i486 will be removed from main/ready/test trees, It will still be available in archived yearly snapshots.
