If I see a SIGILL on my AMD Phenom II X6 1090T then Arch will have failed me. 😜

I believe your proposal should only be discussed as co-existing
optimized port(s) and even then I'm not sure it's worth the trouble.
Performance-critical applications can and frequently are optimized for
the running processor (I'm thinking of stuff like glibc and ffmpeg
here).
