RANT Fedora 10 and SCSI boot hang

I spent hours yesterday getting Fedora-10 to run on my SCSI machine.
It hangs after the line
	Attached scsi generic sg3 type 0
appears on the screen.

Googling for "fedora 10 scsi boot hang" brings up
dozens of postings with the same message.
It appears that not enough time is left for SCSI to initialize.

Several people seem to have come up with essentially the same solution,
which involves modifying initrd*.img .
See eg
<http://fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?p=1125626>.

What I don't understand is why there hasn't been an upgrade
with this solution, which has been available for over a week?
