I suspect you'll find that even many Fedora users are loathe to build a
custom kernel.  I doubt the participants in this discussion (or even
subscribers to this list) constitute the typical Fedora user.

In any event, while I'd prefer that the config option be enabled in both
Fedora and RHEL, I'd take the latter if that were the only option.  But
is it really likely that RHEL will enable a kernel config option if it
isn't enabled first in Fedora?
