We want variants of Fedora made right? Fedora is your free base from which to build wonderful and great things (like RHEL). So you want CCRMA type stuff, great! Spin a release with CCRMA modules and whatever other software you need. Call it Based on Fedora or whatever. Don't pollute the Free base with hacky things like kernel modules. Make it easier for folks to take the free Fedora base and run with it, making their own wonderful variants for their wonderful needs. The things that make sense to pull into the base, do it! The things that don't, well, don't! -- Jesse Keating Release Engineer: Fedora
