In addition to Ubuntu exploring the possibility of x86_64-v3 builds/packages, a proposal has been raised for Fedora Linux with its current Fedora 40 cycle to provide the ability to offer optimized x86_64 (AMD64) binaries based upon the CPU's x86_64 micro-architecture feature level.
One of the latest change proposals filed for Fedora 40 is to unify their /usr/bin and /usr/sbin locations.
Among the newly-proposed features for Fedora 40 is enabling WiFi MAC address randomization by default to yield better user privacy.
