That's not entirely true. The was no changes in CPU support from F-12 to F-13. What has happened was a change in gcc which causes issues with F-13 on geode processors. There's a bit missing from gcc for geode support that would need to be added. dsd and cjb know more of the details. > Considering the potential for hard to fix regressions, I felt that > upgrading to Fedora 12 was probably not worth the effort.

If there's demand for it and its considered a 'good thing' I would consider pushing sugar 0.88 back to F-12. Not guaranteed, but its something that could be considered.
