Lo! Three quick question from someone who for some strange reason is
interested in this topic:

As such I would like to (for starters) add this driver:
https://github.com/hadess/rtl8723bs
Which is fully open source and although not ready for
upstream, actively maintained by the community, to the
driver/staging directory of the Fedora kernel pkg.
* wouldn't it make more sense to simply add the driver to the staging
directory upstream?
See my answer to Bastien's mail.
* will users somehow made aware they are using drivers of lower quality
which are maintained differently (they for example might vanish suddenly
if maintainers lose interest, which normally doesn't happen with proper
kernel drivers)
Other then the standard tainting caused by this being in staging, no.
* while at it: Is https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KernelStagingPolicy
still considered policy or is it a page everyone forgot about?
I for one had never heard about that page.
Regards,
Hans
