I'd hope to be be able to get into a situation where I can build and  
make available kernel modules for the current release on all of our  
'supported' Fedora and RHEL platforms pretty much immediately upon a  
new kernel-devel package appearing upstream. This is now pending the  
availability of suitable build hardware, and some time to finish the  
required automation.
