Well, given that none of the Fedora kernel people were able to attend
this year for a variety of reasons, this is an interesting revelation to
me, I wasn't aware I thought this.

I, for one, would very much like nouveau to be upstream. It would
certainly make my life easier not having to worry about subtlely
breaking graphics adapters I can't test whenever we rebase to new git
changes in the DRM. Thankfully Ben and Dave have been ninja at dealing
with it, otherwise I probably would have punted it by now.
