Well, that would exclude a lot of hardware drivers, and make Fedora pretty
useless. (You cannot realistically test Fedora on all hardware on which
users want to use it.)
You dropped too much context here. Drivers which are rottenware (Panu's
term) are exactly in this category. We can only hope that upstreams
remove them, based on feedback from the larger community.
