The Linux kernel is set to phase out support for i486-class processors starting with kernel 7.1: non-LTS kernels will be the first to drop support and Kconfig options CONFIG_M486SX, CONFIG_M486, and CONFIG_MELAN will be removed, with Ingo Molnar preparing patches; complete removal from the repository may follow if no critical issues are found, aiming to reduce legacy maintenance burden and code size.
