IIRC the two cases that make the most sense are installing a mainline
kernel and a LTS kernel. The LTS kernel usually being useful if the main
Fedora kernel has issues.

AFAIK both can be easily installed via COPRs though. So, I don't know how
much it would benefit from official support.

Thanks for your time,
