We are aware that there is some non-SSE HW out in the wild, but we think
that this is sufficiently esoteric to make our lives as V8 developers much
easier by kicking out the support. If one cares strongly enough about such
HW, there is always the option to fork M36 and create a separate platform
port for non-SSE2. This would make it possible to track upstream changes to
the rest, but one should not underestimate the amount of work involved to
keep such a port alive (I would guess almost 1 person working full-time on
it).
