Slightly related to this and maybe relevant for the -libre discussion:

Dave, what's the status of the "precompiled vanilla kernel rpms" for 
Fedora? There was the idea to put them in the unusual Fedora repos 
(which I'd prefer) or in a dedicated repo on your people pages. Was it 
forgotten? To many technical hurdles? -ENOTIME? Or do we stick to the 
"build one yourself using rpmbuild and the magic flag if you need one" 
solution?

Just wondering.
