I'd like to know why these two cannot go directly into Fedora.
For the first one it's obvious: kernel-module
but yeah, for the second one the same question came to my mind.
I'd
like to remember that the "Grounds for inclusion" filed is not used to
specify some sort of motivation for packaging the software but _why
this package is not eligible as a regular Fedora package_.
I first wanted to write a similar mail, but then I choose to do a
s/Grounds for inclusion/Why not in Fedora/
on the page in the wiki to make it more explicit in the hope that we
avoid the problem in the future ;-)
