No, WE don't. We need to enable THEM to be able to do it. We want
variants of Fedora made right? Fedora is your free base from which
to build wonderful and great things (like RHEL). So you want CCRMA
type stuff, great! Spin a release with CCRMA modules and whatever
other software you need. Call it Based on Fedora or whatever. Don't
pollute the Free base with hacky things like kernel modules. Make it
easier for folks to take the free Fedora base and run with it, making
their own wonderful variants for their wonderful needs. The things
that make sense to pull into the base, do it! The things that don't,
well, don't!
Fair enough, Jesse. Let me rephrase -- whatever else we do or don't
do, we need to enable people to do cool stuff with Fedora, not be an
impediment to them doing it.
Insert all the "as long as it's FOSS, etc." stuff here.
I think there needs to be a place for kernel modules somewhere in the
"Fedora Universe", that's all I'm saying.
The first step is ensuring that the mechanisms are in place to allow
others in the Fedora universe to build, deliver and hook in their
modules. This is what Jon Masters has been providing support for. We
don't need to actually deliver kernel modules ourselves this way, but
neither should we preclude others from doing so.
