Fedora 35 (was F-34): going to 4k page size? Help needed

--- Quote from: pocock on November 18, 2021, 12:59:10 pm ---Any work on this topic in Fedora has now been undermined by the politics that is gripping large free software organizations. This initiative is completely frozen and I can't say when it would resume.
During the Fedora 35 release cycle, many Red Hat employees joined the attacks on Dr Richard Stallman. I wrote a blog about the human rights issues involved in these online mobs and subsequently received a number of malicious communications that undermine my voluntary work as a Fedora developer.
I would not expect Raptor to be keen on taking sides in these issues, after all, they made a big effort to attain the FSF RYF certification but the OpenPOWER hardware is coming from Red Hat's parent, IBM. On that basis, I won't say a lot more about this but I feel that people who invested in this platform have a right to know that politics is getting ahead of important development issues.

Wondering if there is any similar initiatives for clang?
ClassicHasClass:
Initiatives like how?

There is an update on the Fedora situation today
A legal panel has declared that rogue elements of Fedora committed harassment and abuse, this is what is effectively slowing down my work to help Fedora users on POWER
Here is my blog about it
Here is the verdict from the panel
It is interesting to note that when people immersed in the open source space make accusations of harassment, they are usually very biased and swayed by conflicts of interest and personal relationships.
The verdict on Fedora was made by an outside observer so it is more credible than a code of conduct.

I wouldn't care. Because the maintainers of Fedora (sharkcz is on this forum) are aware of the problem. If they don't feel the need to offer 4K kernels, so be it...
That's the blessing of open source, you can choose whatever you like.
And it seems the problem is fixed?

Given the POWER eco-system is smaller compared to the overall eco-system, the choices are not so wide and the POWER development teams in each distribution are relatively limited in what they can do
The commit below doesn't credit people who spent time identifying the root cause of the problem, that is not a blessing at all. It verges on plagiarism.
