kernel source code

[not disclosed]

Dear All,

RE: In order to eliminate the redundancy inherent in providing a separate 
package for the kernel source code when that source code already exists in 
the kernel's .src.rpm file, Fedora Core 3 no longer includes the 
kernel-source package. - 
http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/release-notes/fc3/x86/

I think this is a big mistake - kernel-source didn't harm anyone and 
removing it hugely increases the amount of hassle involved in any kernel 
upgrade.  You have to accept that fedora users will be using stuff that lies 
outside the fedora world of nicely packaged programs and this means that 
users need the source code.  The hassle involved with this elimination of 
the kernel source code package is irritating enough for us to consider using 
another distro when we come to change from FC2.

Please put the kernel sourcecode back.

Cheers,

SA
