Fedora cannot in anyway help with third party proprietary kernel
drivers. That has been said several times quite prominently.
"Not helping" is unrelated to actively breaking in mid-version updates.
If you plan the latter, just say so up front - and in a way that
points out this difference from RHEL. And anyone who wants current apps
on a box that keeps working will just have to learn a different
administration style.
It's probably not coincidental that fedora works nicely on your
hardware. It hasn't been that way for me much of the time and the
user mail list makes it look like others have many of the same issues.
Fedora works quite nicely on my system because I specifically got a box
which doesn't require anything proprietary to work. Well except the
wireless firmware.
I didn't think there was anything unusual or proprietary about my
firewire drives or the IBM 225's either - but they both went through
many months of not working with various fedora kernels.
