Not the one followed here actually !
Now hardware support is here from the kernel and some userland tools (dvgrab) also works fine. So this remain the responsibility of the related userland apps devs. That's been said, they were hard discussions in fedora-devel ml for the juju "early" introduction. The result is that no ieee1394 support will be provided by redhat/fedoraproject.org and the firewire maintainer will continue to work on juju. And, this new stack is about to hit RHEL 5.2 "as a technological preview". So, there is probably an intention to make thing moving, and not to follow the usual inertia to have new technology adopted. They are enough distribution to have different rules. (but I can provide a falback for the Fedora 8 case anyway, which hopefully can be dropped for F-9 ).
