If you have audio problems with Fedora, file a bug and work with the developers to solve the
issue for you.

As for xorg, some drivers are already migrating into the kernel.  There really isn't that many
different vendors for video chips these days, so there is not a large variety of drivers
needed anymore.

The audio issue was an example. The point is that simply having a driver does not automatically mean the hardware is actually useful for the user. 'amartoq' and 'osma' describe this problem better in comments below.
