It is agreed that the kernel can be built anywhere, but to stick the source under redhat is not a choice that I think fedora project wants to do. Storing the source quite often creates a situation where you do a rpn install and then the person can't locate the source. That is the complaint. And I get your point on the thread so this is the last response from me.
