What exactly more do you propose?  Re-create the wheel?  Tests have already been run.  A URL has already been posted in the bugzilla record showing a

They have all the information they need to make an informed decision.  


No they do not have all the information needed. What they know is that some other distribution ships it and that it works in a device using a custom kernel. How does it work on a normal drive, how does it not work, how are the tools functioning with the toolset, what extra patchsets need to be found and gotten to make sure what is in the kernel actually works as well as it does in say the Nexus 9. Those are all tasks which need someone to work on before it can get included. A bunch of links do not actually show that it works or what is needed. They just have a bunch of soundbites. What it is going to take is someone to recompile the kernel, run the tests, and post the results.. which in a volunteer group means the people who want it need to do the work. 

What I am going to ask you is the following. If you are interested in this, are you interested enough to do the groundwork and be involved? If not then don't be incredulous that others have things they are more interested in that they are doing the groundwork for.

The horse has already left the barn.  The longer we delay, the sillier we look.  The requirement is obvious.  The bugzilla on it
is active.  

Does that mean you are unwilling to do any work to convince the Fedora kernel developers?
