Useful stuff like kqemu with no license or patent issues is being forced into RPM Fusion purely because of the combination of the above policy and the ban on separately-packaged kernel modules. This also causes problems with getting the modules out at the same time as the new kernel which would just not happen if they were in Fedora and got pushed out with new kernels in grouped updates. The #1 rationale for banning kernel modules entirely was "FESCo was rejecting most requests anyway, so it won't change much", but the option of changing that fact, or even getting rid of the FESCo approval requirement entirely, never even got considered.
