AFAIK, current CPU requirements are 6th generation Intel and later, AMD Ryzen 1st gen and later, and machines having those are unlikely to have *that* low amounts of RAM.
Raising the required CPU architecture has been proposed and it has not been decided yet. I am personally torn on this one, because requiring x86_64 v3 gives real world performance benefits (which is why RHEL 9 requires that JFYI) but it also excludes users with older machines.
Ah, so they changed their mind[0]? (Linked from https://code.opensuse.org/leap/features/issue/81) Speaking as someone with an (very) old machine, and unlikely to get hardware upgrade any time soon, I think that ALP/openALP is the perfect opportunity to make that break, and I am OK with that. New code-stream, new way(s) of doing things. I trust that the decision would be made based on technical merit, and after weighting pros and cons. Will I be annoyed because all the fun happens without me? Not really :) IMHO, people that will be able to use openALP should join in and (constructively) help in shaping its future. As for me, I'll try to (finally) figure out the workflow for chipping in future Leap 15.5 (video tutorial/walk-through would be _much_ appreciated :)).
