That being said there are myriad ways that one can get firmware, closed source drivers etc. for non natively supported (or poorly supported) hardware to work with Fedora (but) those currently can't *ship* with the distro. IMHO the tradeoff is very reasonable indeed and deviating from the current policy would be a slippery slope scenario. -- Bests, Jon
