The Fedora project's four "foundations" arenamed "Freedom", "Friends", "Features", and "First". Among other things,they commit the project to being firmly within the free-software camp("we believe that advancing software and content freedom is a centralgoal for the Fedora Project, and that we should accomplish that goalthrough the use of the software and content we promote") and toproviding leading-edge software, including current kernels. Given that thekernel project, too, is focused on free software, it is interesting to seea call within the Fedora community to hold back on kernel updates in orderto be able to support a proprietary driver.
