To the best of my knowledge, no community distribution has elected to move to a higher level yet. It has been brought up a few times in Fedora and Arch, but as far as I know, the change hasn't happened yet in a way that eliminates x86_64-v1 in these distributions.
When I've been following-up Arch Linux correctly, they've decided to provide x86_64-v3 packages *in addition* to their existing x86_64 packages (which will remain unaffected for now). The option to make x86_64-v2 the new baseline (replacing existing x86_64 packages) was also on the table but they decided against it because x86_64-v2 would bring almost no benefit, at least not enough to justify the hardware requirement. (Note that providing x86_64-v3 packages has not been carried out yet. It looks like they want to focus on their build automation first. Not a concern for openSUSE, though.)
I suppose this decision makes most sense. No users on old hardware will be negatively affected and users with newer hardware can switch to x86_64-v3 packages.
The simplest way of achieving this, that would on the other hand use the most build resources would be to add a new arch "x86_64-v3" which would leave people with a choice. Whether we have the spare build power for this would be the main question. -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B
