--- Comment #1 from John W. Linville <linville@xxxxxxxxxx> ---
Traditionally, the 802.11 wireless regulatory database has been loaded by a
userland program called crda. This was triggered via udev requests. It was a
bit fragile, but it worked.

More recent upstream kernels have enabled the kernel to bypass crda and load
the regulatory database directly, via the same mechanism used to load firmware.
Fedora kernels have enabled that functionality for quite some time, dating back
to the early 4.15 days. Adapting to the new mechanism would avoid some nuisance
error message during boot, and would allow us to drop the old crda package and
it's awkward "2 in 1" build process. Also, indications are that the regulatory
database format may need changes that will not be propogated to the crda code
in the future, so this change prepare Fedora for that future.
