It's actually a very different creative process to create a product and to support a product. Many of the hacking community are smart enough to do it, so companies tend to hire them, but if they enjoy creating a kernel as a hobbyist experiment, why would they be interested in making it work on some obscure piece of hardware sold only in Estonia and Zimbabwe, when they could be hacking on more interesting features for everyone? -Yaakov -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
