     It looks to me that everybody want to stick with the Fedora
Objectives whatever it has been decided but don't want to comment at
all regarding kernel module packaging guidelines.
     So i assume that we will no longer be in decision to build any
kernel modules packages for Fedora OS right? Because for same reason
no progress i can find for kernel module packages with their status as
FE-NEW.
