OK so Fedora's kernels, being substantially like upstream source, is
in some sense disproportionately hit with this tweaking process,
compared to other distros who tend to run older kernels. So maybe they
have more time to make the necessary adaptations, where Fedora the
tweaks are more urgent because, well from what I can see you've got
sometimes a dozen hours after a mainline rc is released before there's
a kernel build of it.
