state of Fedora kernel and Desktop use?

[Valent Turkovic]

Hi devels & all,
I'll be brief so not to take much of your time.

I read this article [1] about general Linux kernel development and how
desktop use is ignored by mainstream kernel developers, and how
desktop performance is suffering because of that.

I took out this quote to summarize:
"I think the kernel developers at large haven't got the faintest idea
just how big the problems in userspace are. It is a very small brave
minority that are happy to post to lkml, and I keep getting users
telling me on IRC, in person, and via my own mailing list, what their
problems are. And they've even become fearful of me, even though I've
never viewed myself as a real kernel developer."

What is the status of Fedora kernel regarding specific patches that
make desktop perform better? Is is true that mostly big vendor issues
get resolved and that kernel devels don't care enough for desktop
users?

Cheers,
Valent.
