AHCI dates to before when RHEL 5 was released in 2007. We also build in ATA_PIIX, which covers a large number of generations before that. Does hardware exist that's not covered by this? Of course. However, I'd also bet that those installing Fedora on that hardware are those that are capable of rebuilding an initramfs if they move an existing system to such hardware.
