Description Florian Weimer 2018-01-31 13:30:24 UTC 
According to Intel, the CET NOPs are not treated as NOPs by older processors.  Depending on what “older” means in this context, we may have to disable it for i686 builds in Fedora.
Comment 1 Florian Weimer 2018-02-11 09:54:16 UTC 
The x86 SIG did not find any issues with the change, so we left CET enabled for the mass rebuild:
