If that fallback is working, then I guess that's fine. (Though I'm not
speaking for the whole Working Group here... perhaps others expect it to
always work, I'm not sure.)
But if Negativo users start complaining that their computers don't boot
anymore, then we'll definitely need to stop doing major kernel updates
("taking the entire distro hostage" I guess) as the Negativo support is
important for product strategy. Hopefully it doesn't come to that.
I cannot believe what I read. I don't think there would ever be
agreement to forfeit one of the greatest Fedora strength - current
kernel – for the sake of users of proprietary driver from 3rd repo!
