That's not the point!

You are essentially asking:

"Hey, I'd like to fork a core component of the Fedora distribution,
and have that included in Fedora."

Once you remove the politics, it's essentially the same as requesting
to add a separate glibc that changes the resolving library. Or shipping
two GNOMEs, one of which changes the default theme.

Those obviously wouldn't be sane things to do. That's why were telling
you to work in the upstream (either l-k or Fedora kernel) to get this
done, and why it's not appropriate to do otherwise.
