Fedora kernels don't support them because they're not all up stream
and we don't have support for OFW even where their kernels are
upstream. That being said you can use Fedora relatively easily while
still doing an initial install with the XO image and getting XO kernel
updates but still receiving standard Fedora updates and installing all
the other standard Fedora stuff using yum. I documented it here:
