Well, we could just push every kernel module addon package away, on the
grounds that its not upstream, but that almost feels like passing the
buck.

I could set policy as "if its licensed compatible with the kernel, it
should go upstream, and if not, it goes to Livna." Then I'd be passing
the problem to Thorsten.

openafs and unionfs are two cases that are valid today for FE, that
people seem interested in.
