Just for the record, I think that having kernel modules outside of the kernel

software that's too bleeding edge for the mainline kernel, or to use hardware
they wouldn't normally be able to use, it's great.
Yes, I understand that it might not be the best option (*pound fist*
everything must be upstream! *pound fist*) but in the interest of enabling
users and giving people more places to participate, it's great.
Ok, then I pose this:
Is there anyone on the 9 person Fedora Board (Rex, Seth, Chris, Jeremy,
Bill, Elliot, Rahul, Matt, Paul) who is *against* allowing the kernel
modules?
If not, the as a Board we need to be willing to defend the decision, and
also to work with the folks who are going to be opposed to that decision
to help make it more palatable for them.
That's probably going to fall mostly on guys like Jeremy and Bill.
Just so we have everything out there on the table.
