Using alternatives seems plain wrong. It's not like anyone wants to "choose" the
firmware they use with a given kernel.

The solution is to try and convince Intel to go back to how they were doing
things previously, as it was very easy to bundle the older firmwares along with
the latest, so that people could downgrade and upgrade kernels all they wanted
(basically, the latest package always worked with all kernels from the first one
of the install media, to the very latest errata one).

If they don't want to do it... well... either try to implement something similar
inside the Fedora kernel (ugh!), or continue trying to convince them, as I'm
pretty sure they'll be "suffering" from the situation too, with feedback about
problems related to the firmware version not being the right one, over and over.
