OK, I'll bite. The grounds are that FESCo has granted the WG full 
control over the Workstation product, and the kernel package is part of 
that product. Although I can't speak for the entire WG today, I would 
be fairly astounded if the WG were to choose to allow kernel updates to 
break Negativo users after having identified Negativo as a strategic 
priority and advertised it as supported. So if a kernel update goes out 
that breaks Negativo users, I would expect a policy to delay future 
kernel upgrades until Negativo has been tested and confirmed to be 
working. Since that would be controversial, someone would surely appeal 
to FESCo. Probably easier for everyone to take it straight to FESCo, 
right?

But again, if there is already a technical solution (a fallback to 
noveau) in place and working, as I suspect (would be really nice if 
somebody could confirm that!) then it doesn't matter.
