Yes... that's a logical among others... Not the one followed here actually !

Now hardware support is here from the kernel and some userland tools
(dvgrab) also works fine. So this remain the responsibility of the
related userland apps devs.

That's been said, they were hard discussions in fedora-devel ml for
the juju "early" introduction. The result is that no ieee1394 support
will be provided by redhat/fedoraproject.org and the firewire
maintainer will continue to work on juju.
And, this new stack is about to hit RHEL 5.2 "as a technological preview".

So, there is probably an intention to make thing moving, and not to
follow the usual inertia to have new technology adopted. They are
enough distribution to have different rules. (but I can provide a
falback for the Fedora 8 case anyway, which hopefully can be dropped
for F-9 ).
