Don't feed the troll.
Recap:
- The subject for this thread includes the word "FLAME" (with
superfluous underscores).
- The original post cited "no need to respond", with an implicit promise
to ignore (useful) replies.
- The substantive issue, lack of kernel source, has been definitively
shown to be false. The complaint was based on facts not in evidence.
- References to the "correct" location for source (/usr/src/linux) are
also contrary to facts in evidence (new standard from kernel.org).
- The OP's posts engaged in ad hominem remarks, such as accusing Red Hat
(personnel) of "politics".
- Many replies have offered solutions to the putative problem. No word
from the OP on whether these have helped him.
- Apparently the issue is relevant to FC3 (on a different discussion
list). There are (controversial) workarounds available there as well.
My conclusions:
- Having kernel source is a potential issue for the upcoming (FC3) release.
- Workarounds exist for the issue, but the default setup has a rationale.
- Don't feed the troll.
