You assume that Red Hat has full control over the project, which i
don't think is the case. The reason it isn't in staging yet (as far as
i know) is because of some questions over the copyright of some
(essential) microcode. Either the question needs to be answered, or it
has to be reverse engineered to the point that it's possible to
generate it.
