… so which is it now? Do you now think bugfixes which don't fix a bug in our 
Bugzilla should be pushed or not? FWIW, I think they should indeed be 
pushed, as the fact that the bug is not in our Bugzilla does not mean it 
doesn't affect Fedora users (and so the package IS in fact broken and should 
be fixed)!


And in addition:

… so the stable Fedora kernels aren't upgraded often enough for you, but …

I must say I don't understand your position at all.
