The main thing I noticed was that it's trying to push farther back in time for hardware support. The article has a genuine point that some older distributions can't be installed at all now due to online dependencies and many more can't be update. I'm not the target audience, but i486 is a definitely a limit for most current distros in an era when Ubuntu is trying to kill off 32bit even on brand new hardware.
