Either works but upstream is usually better in most cases.  Particularly
right now since you're testing something that isn't available in Fedora

Thanks for the advice. I filed a bug in bugs.freedesk.org.

P.S. Besides the Nouveau issue that was fixed, I specifically tested

amount of testing I haven't had any problems with 3.19.
