Absolutely not, ever.

If it's good enough for Fedora to ship and support, we can put it in the
main kernel package. Besides; if it's good enough for Fedora to ship and
support, then it should be upstream already anyway and thus should get
into our main kernel package by _default_.

And if it isn't good enough for upstream to ship and support, why in
$DEITY's name would we want to ship it, again?
