  The latter two items are primarily a benefit to those developers who work on Fedora itself.

  

  One notable impact of this change is that **32-bit x86 systems which lack SSE2 support will not be able to install or upgrade to Fedora 29**.

- This only applies to 32-bit x86 systems. For 64-bit x86 systems, SSE2 support is a required support of the baseline ABI and already extensively used by Fedora.

+ == Fedora variants are now labeled

+ 

+ Prior to Fedora 29, only major Fedora editions were using the `VARIANT` and `VARIANT_ID` fields in `/usr/lib/os-release` (and the `/etc/os-release` symlink).

+ That meant it was impossible to distinguish between, for example, a desktop spin and a container image.

+ 

+ Fedora 29 uses these fields on every variant.

+ Combined with link:++https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/council-discuss@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/J436ZG74X6MIOES377Q7UGZEXX73ZNUM/++[UUID counting], this will provide Fedora Project with a much clearer picture of real-world usage of various spins and editions, and allow the Project to determine which editions are most popular and to better optimize time and resources.
