What upstream are you talking about?  I assume you're so misinformed
that you mean it's the kernel Linux upstream, but there's far more to
in that that.  Fedora chooses to add various pieces of non-Free
firmware to the distro, in addition to those that the kernel ships.
Your suggestion doesn't make sense.  Please get some information and
some valium before venting out frustration at someone who was just
answering a user's question.

I wish I could reciprocate :-)
