------- Additional Comments From Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net  2006-07-30 05:35 EST -------
I saw a referecne to this bug about David's comment #9. I'd like to point out
that one of the oldest kernel modules packages in Fedora are Cluster/GFS bits.
Following this kind of veto, we wouldn't have GFS in Fedora.

And there isn't really a difference between externally built kernel modules and
patched in pieces that haven't been accepted upstream like for example xen.

So at the very end the xen/gfs deviation from upstream really justify most of
the external kernel module projects (keeping binary code out of the discussion,
that's very different and much uglier).

Don't get me wrong, I'm very happy with gfs/xen! And I'm also very happy with
some external kernel modules.
