This is probably useful in general, but since he already tried the rawhide
kernel it isn't new information and doesn't seem to answer his question, which
was about policy.
As yet we just know it fixes his problem, no comfirmation as to whether
it was installed. (subsequent info from op would confirm this.
I'm fairly sure that kernel version upgrades have taken place in
the past, but I
don't know what policy might be on doing so. Since I've been told that my pet
bug will not be in FC13, if a fix comes out I will happily build my own kernel,
and be happy to do so. There have been times in the past when a rawhide kernel
pulled in many things I didn't want to touch, so
kernel.org source is still
desirable at times.
Even on the testing list, I could not assume that everyone would have
the necessary skillset to build a kernel, where should be ablt to
install from koji and or rawhide.repo
