The point is, people who do binary drivers will be cursed by platform 
movement, not only with relatively new products (RH9, RHE, etc.) but 
also older products (7.1, 8), as there's legacy support, whenever a 
kernel is released for the given platform. They undertake similar risks 
with Fedora as they will with RHE in the future.
