But what if they deliberately want that setup? They can be getting a kernel
from somewhere else. Maybe CentOS AltArch? (Running Fedora on a CentOS
kernel used to mostly work, at least.) Maybe from some other distro, if they
install the kernel manually? Or maybe they just compile the kernel
themselves? Why are you attempting to second-guess your users that way?
We cannot continue to provide everything we ever provided in case
someone somewhere has some use case for it. If someone has a use case
for it and we stop producing it, it's up to them to produce it, or
convince us to do so again/continue to.
I personally don't think this is a use case we want to provide resources
for.
