The most recent FC10 drivers seem to work reliably (that was NOT true with the initial install), but are not accelerated.

Because Fedora is about shipping new technologies which sometimes have to be backported to stable releases and the kernel is no exception. And to ask back: Why should it? One of Fedora's goals is to stay close to upstream (and in fact some other distributions have a lot more kernel patches than Fedora does), but that doesn't mean we ship completely vanilla upstream software without regards to things like system integration. If we just did that (and if it even worked, which is not always the case), what would be the purpose of the distribution?
