Well, that would exclude a lot of hardware drivers, and make Fedora pretty
useless. (You cannot realistically test Fedora on all hardware on which
users want to use it.)
In the end, if I need, e.g., a printer, I just have to buy some model, check
the model lists upstream (in my example: Gutenprint, HPLIP, etc.) claims to
support (for printers, openprinting.org can also be of help) and then hope
it works. Short hardware compatibility lists with regularly tested models
are not always helpful because the listed models are often no longer
available and/or not in the desired price and/or feature range.
