What does:

Future build infrastructure for Arch Linux

"We decided on supporting the x86_64-v3 microarchitecture"

Does that mean Arch will break on anything older than Haswell for Intel will 
no longer be supported on Arch? Or am I missing something? SUSE going to ALP 
is doing the v3 baseline for it's "containerized" Micro Leap, but what does 
this mean for Arch.

With SUSE, it means just that, if you have an i7 Sandy Lake or older -- your 
just not invited to the party. That seems completely counter to what Arch 
should do for a main distro.
