>From what I rapidly read there, I understand that Fedora doesn't want to *ship* drivers using dkms stuff, but doesn't care about users doing what they want with it. And that's what it is about, imho. Having dkms in Debian means users can install dkms drivers (provided by hardware vendor for example) and have dell management stuff happy, it doesn't mean *debian* has to ship drivers in dkms format.
