kmod-staging in Fedora 23

[Janina Sajka]

Hi, Zahari:

Your comments below are correct. I think the first step might be to file
a bug on the kmod-staging package with rpmfusion. I've been meaning to
do this myself, but haven't gotten around to it. So, whoever does it
first, please also respond on this list, so all of us who care can plus
one the bug and maybe get some action.

The broken package for the 4.1.4 kernel was maddening. It's as though
nobody bothered to test. I'm sure it's a simple typing error in the
source. Of course, that's old news now. We need current kernels
supported.
