Hello,

I have a dependency that is a C++ library for SIMD (called highway). This l= ibrary requires SSE4 as its minimum required instruction set ("Support= ed targets: SSE4, AVX2, AVX-512, NEON (ARMv7 and v8), WASM SIMD."). Ho= wever the minimum for Fedora is SSE2. Am I still allowed to package this de= spite the requirement being above what's minimum for Fedora? It won'= ;t compile on old systems but building works fine in Koji.


There shouldn't be a reason not to= package it just because it doesn't work on old hardware.
