I think the important thing is to maybe optimize Core, Netbook UX by default in OBS (the pieces that everyone can recompile), but SDKs or MeeGo Community Application Support would default to a non-SSSE3 requirement for applications. That way, the problem is minimized to the hassle of recompiling core.
