Is there any plan to build fedora with their own kernel ?
It's a 'must have', for some packages.
e.g. GLIBC:
http://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=blob_plain;f=sysdeps/unix/sysv/l...
A lot of features can't be used, because 2.6.18(3.5 years old)
is the base kernel.
And it causes a load of obscure Koji-specific bugs which require
workarounds just for Koji builds. This was the latest one:

Hopefully those builders can be upgraded to RHEL 6 soon ...
