The mails are not a big problem for me, but they are related to a bigger
question that again and again pops up in my head:

Is it really a good idea to have all those totally RHEL specific patches
in the Fedora rpm (and thus discussed here)? And does that approach mean
that Red Hat is special, or are willing to include downstream patches
for other distros as well? Say Amazon Linux? How is this handled in
other packages? Or is it an issue that only happens with the kernel?

Sure, Fedora is mainly sponsored by Red Hat and all Fedora kernel
developers are working for Red Hat, but somehow it feels to me like a
boundary was overstepped.

Ciao, Thorsten
