the problem with using the kernel.org bz for Fedora bugs is that
if they report a bug which turns out not to be a kernel bug, we can't
reassign it to the right package, they need to file a new bug back at rhbz. 

It's sad that after all these years the only bz interoperability solution
that's appeared is "use launchpad", which isn't a solution at all.
