I don't know. What is your reasoning? I don't really understand why you'd want to force people to upgrade HW when they don't need to.

  There is a difference between a design decision reasonable people can disagree, even forcefully, about, and a design decision that is actually a deceptive attempt to get people to buy new hardware.

  They spelled out the reasoning in the post: “in order to support the increased cryptographic loads that we see as part of pfSense verison 2.5, pfSense Community Edition version 2.5 will include a requirement that the CPU supports AES-NI” You may disagree with that but it's intellectually dishonest to argue as if they didn't provide clear, technically defensible rationale, especially at a time when much of the industry has been moving to hardware offload.
