I'm very sorry to bring up this old thread again, but there is now a very good argument for keeping the baseline of the amd64 port at x86_64-v1, namely CERN. They just started migrating their laboratory PCs away from RHEL to Debian because of the baseline switch in RHEL 9 and 10. They cannot just simply replace the hardware without making larger investments.
