We only deviate from the upstream kernel to fix bugs, backport features 
or add code that has a clear path to upstream. We do not deviate from 
the upstream kernel to revert a bunch of upstream fixes in order to add 
a feature that's been there for half a decade and still isn't upstream, 
especially when there's been approximately zero user demand for it to 
appear in Fedora. That's a practical attitude, not a hostile or 
apathetic one.
