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(¹) 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.
