I've suggested in the past that we ship the userspace tools in a
completely separate package, leaving ONLY kernel bits in the kernel
SRPM and subpackages. Partly for this reason, and also because there
is no NEED to build e.g. perf daily. I'm willing to put my money
where my mouth is and do the maintenance on the userspace side if
people want to pursue this.

FWIW, you can just download the F27 kernel, kernel-core,
kernel-modules (optionally extras), and 'sudo dnf install *rpm' in
that same download directory and it will install it without complaint.
I routinely run Fedora built n+1 (typically rawhide) kernels on
current release OS.

Shameless plug: If you want to get Linux 4.13 now you can also run this:
curl -s https://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/thl/kernel-vanilla.repo |
sudo tee /etc/yum.repos.d/kernel-vanilla.repo
sudo dnf --enablerepo=kernel-vanilla-stable update
This will install a vanilla kernel from the kernel vanilla stable repo,
where is landed yesterday. For more details and other kernel vanilla
repos (mainline, mainline-wo-mergew & fedora) please see

Yes, I can throw that in the stabilization copr once I start working on
the rebase. I might have a very early 4.13.0 to test by the end of
the week but no promises.
