So the kernel packages are not downstreamed from kernel.org? They have a
lot more fedora-specific patches.

The fedora packages are rebased every once in a while. That's why it's
an upstream/downstream thing. The parts which are shared and reused are
bigger than the parts Fedora-specific (very often because the changes
have not been bushed jpp-side)

Note that has never been a demand. The demand has been to avoid
needlessly making the package flow and collaboration harder.
