I must be missing something here. Is that a early April fools joke or is
that simply a feature where the Feature owner (and apparently nobody
else) first asked for advise on this list and on
kernel(a)lists.fedoraproject.org. If he did it I missed that, which is
possible, but I'd assume he would have quickly been told that Fedora
normally(ยน) doesn't do things like that (e.g. include kernel drivers
that are not in the upstream kernel).
Yeah, there are a number of problems with this Feature request.
1) No discussion at all with the kernel maintainers
2) Testing and development entirely done against F16, not F17
3) kmod
4) out-of-tree kmod
5) No links to upstream patch submissions
Fortunately, I don't think this is even needed anymore.
