Okay, but Alma rebuilds with x86-64-v2 as a separate ISO, and they even build EPEL packages with support for it: https://almalinux.org/blog/2025-06-26-epel-v2-now-covers-alm...
So the original commenter's questions stands IMO: why is Alma not considered a solution?
Nobody was ever fired for choosing Debian.
CERN wants x86-64-v1 binaries, not v2.
