Package: installation-guide
Severity: wishlist

I've been recently bitten by an agressive policy about completely
lack/drop of support for old hardware (aka «programmed obsolescence») by
both, Almalinux and LibreOffice projects.

That situation directed me to this document¹ («Building Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 9 for the x86-64-v2 microarchitecture level») which I
find it could useful to be ported/adapted into Debian's Installation
Guide², under «2.1.2. CPU Support» section.

I find the current CPU support section is too generic, that is, a bit
«short» and unspecific; meaning, by its current redaction it cannot be
easily known what CPUs are currently supported by Debian's kernel build
options.

Just something for you to consider.
