X on a PRE_SMPNG 486 is painful - mouse movements no longer make
the X pointer move in real time.  I haven't noticed the seeding
issue (probably just luck).

I think 386/486 remains a significant market and would not like to
see support dropped.  I'd go so far as to suggest that if -current
does drop support for the 386/486, the then-stable version will need
to be actively maintained indefinitely to provide continued support.
