Maybe a nicer way to handle these changes would be delivering the needed package to the repositories, sending a heads-up to Fedora testers list, and then changing the kernel.
Yeah, John and I did discuss it briefly, and I think he was going to create a new b43-fwcutter package and submit it for review.
Rawhide is... well, rawhide. You get to keep both pieces when it breaks. But I agree that before we switch F-7 to the new driver (which we'd like to do, because it's better), we should have a slightly more coherent strategy in place.
If we could find a way to 'convert' the old-style extracted firmware to the new format, that would make it a lot easier -- it could be a %post script in b43-fwcutter then, and the new kernel could require b43-fwcutter (or conflict with bcm43xx-fwcutter, perhaps).
