- it doesn't support user extended attrs; and not very old kernels didn't support any xattrs at all, meaning things like SELinux labels don't work
Huh? Why would you run a "very old kernel" on fedora?
It's not unknown that people use different kernels from the ones supplied. I said "not very old", by which I meant >= 12 months old.
That doesn't mean they're not voiding their (admittedly nonexistent) warranty when they do so.
