Can you give examples of other kernel subsystems that are also advertised as available by the Fedora kernel, and part of the core kernel RPM but are of this "tech preview" kind?
Another example would be kexec. The Fedora kernel nominally supports this feature but it requires some setup and tends to be finicky to set up. We'd certainly take patches to fix it and we've started to get more engaged with the kexec team to make sure it works but ultimately it's best effort.
FWIW, recent systemd does kexec "setup" automatically if sd-boot is used, i.e. no setup is required, and 'systemctl kexec' should boot the same kernel with the same options that a full reboot would.
If sd-boot is not used, some setup is necessary, alas.
