Fedora 26 Looks At Updating Its CFLAGS / CXXFLAGS

I expect it will be a good idea by Fedora 28.

And actually implemented by Fedora 35?

By the same token, the 32-bit x86 processors allowed running 16-bit code written for 80286 and 8086/8088, so therefore they were not a “pure” 32-bit-only architecture?

Exactly, yes.

They were also built as an extension to remain backwards compatible rather than a new architecture from scratch.
