You should submit your Linux kernel patches upstream by this date, as
Fedora doesn't allow packaging of kernel modules.
We are going to do that. But we want more broader *testing* to iron out
bugs and annoying issues first.
We know that the module works pretty well in our own environments (I'm
using it on a daily basis with OpenVPN 3 Linux on the client side,
running on RHEL-8.5). But there are always some corner cases we might
have overlooked which should be fixed first.
Once we have performed more testing and gotten more feedback from users,
we will off course start the job of getting the ovpn-dco module into an
upstream kernel. That is the main goal for us. But we take it step by
step, to avoid wasting too much of kernel maintainers time on nonsense
issues.
