You _do not_ know that a RFE would be rejected. You are merely assuming that.
True. However, the track record for my submitted RFEs leads me to that conclusion. Getting "Not a bug" or "Won't fix" as the only feedback would discourage most people from such foolish pursuits.
That has nothing to do with standards.
Yes, it does. If some one want to contribute code to the Linux kernel they have to follow a coding standard. A standard (one probably exits) can be applied to code developed within Fedora Core. Lack of or weak enforcement is the biggest headache.
