Without that information, folks who really want to review the suggestion
now need to abort the review due to incompleteness, invest much more
time than reading it would take in (re?)inventing how it could be done,
or take things for granted.

As discussed previously in private mail, if you don't have time to

say two successive FC kernels (complete with SRPMS, macro definitions,
binaries and debuginfos) somewhere and post a link to that somewhere in
public.
