I've gone ahead and add the kernel-libre topic to the schedule for
tomorrow. I've put it at the end of the agenda though, since I want to
make sure we get to the other items on the schedule before we begin this
discussion (since I'm guessing it will be fairly lengthy).
Thanks.
Here's the proposed feature I've just drafted up:

You might want to attend the IRC meeting and participate in the
discussions regarding this proposal. Also try and pro actively address
the objections raised and answer them within the wiki page. Not everyone
in FESCo might have read the lengthy thread on the topic. IIRC, the
primary and perhaps only real objection is that you are proposing to
maintain a additional kernel package. Instead David Woodhouse, Alan Cox
and others have offered to act as a gateway between you and upstream
Linux community and remove the firmware out of the kernel in a way that
satisfies the requirement of both the parties instead of maintaining a
separate branch within Fedora.
