Yeah, pretty sure there was no Fedora 2.6.30 kernel with IMA enabled,
that came with 2.6.31.

The problem with the IMA fix as it was done in 2.6.33 is that it makes
substantial changes to how/where the IMA accounting is done - probably
not something you'd want as-is for 2.6.32-stable.

What I hope is that Fedora 12 will get an update to 2.6.33 in the not
too distant future.  If we take 2.6.32 as an example, it was added to
F12 roughly a month after its release, and 2.6.33 was released on Feb.
24.  I don't know what the plan is, and looking in Koji I haven't seen
any 2.6.33 builds targeted for F12 yet.
