OK, I'll bite. The grounds are that FESCo has granted the WG full
control over the Workstation product, and the kernel package is part of
that product. Although I can't speak for the entire WG today, I would
be fairly astounded if the WG were to choose to allow kernel updates to
break Negativo users after having identified Negativo as a strategic
priority and advertised it as supported. So if a kernel update goes out
that breaks Negativo users, I would expect a policy to delay future
kernel upgrades until Negativo has been tested and confirmed to be
working. Since that would be controversial, someone would surely appeal
to FESCo. Probably easier for everyone to take it straight to FESCo,
right?
But again, if there is already a technical solution (a fallback to
noveau) in place and working, as I suspect (would be really nice if
somebody could confirm that!) then it doesn't matter.
