I remember the USB DSL drivers around FC4 timeframe, because the complexity of setting that crap up in FC3 offended me so much. PlayStation 3 support in F7. There's _plenty_ of stuff we've shipped in our main kernel package because it's _almost_ upstream and it's (almost) good enough. There's no need to package them separately¹ -- either we're willing to ship and support them, or we aren't. > Ok, out of those really only squashfs and xen aren't immediately headed > towards some kind of upstream inclusion. Is squashfs not headed upstream? Obviously Xen was and is a massive fscking abortion, but I don't think anyone's holding that up as a shining example of how we should do stuff -- quite the opposite, in fact. -- dwmw2 ¹ Except for the illegal crap like nVidia and ATI drivers, but those aren't relevant to this particular discussion anyway. _______________________________________________ Fedora-kernel-list mailing list Fedora-kernel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-kernel-list
