No. I'm saying that Enterprise Linux stuff is separate from Fedora in this regard, and the latter has been doing it for a while anyway. > https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=537741 has a couple of cc's on it > and indicates at least a handful of people care. Personally, I would prefer to load the floppy driver anyway. But Fedora can decide to do whatever it wants. I can see some situations where loading the driver can cause problems if the hardware isn't working. > I am not so interested in kernel behavior as in having the floppy drive work > by default for people.

But I suggest having the Fedora kernel list debate it if you like - working around something in other tools isn't the most generic solution, if you are seeking one.
