Ah. I see, well that makes sense, yes.

CKI didn't evolve as a Fedora specific thing. It certainly benefits
Fedora, and I think we should welcome such activities without being
worried entirely about control. The tipping point in my mind is
whether we *depend* on something for Fedora's success. Those kinds of
projects should probably be folded into Fedora control. CKI is
massively valuable, but if it disappeared tomorrow Fedora would still
continue on.
I think that will depend on how much we will grow to rely on the CKI
stuff to make "good" kernels. Ideally, it'll become critical to doing
so, and thus it will make sense to fold it under the Fedora banner.
