The notice does not say that the kernel won't work, so you are very
confused.

As the operator of the machine you can of course choose to disregard
what the actual kernel developers say about whether it is
supportable or not, but I think that before you portray it as being
"hard nosed" and "an excuse" on a public mailing list you really
should know more about the issue.  Unless you are an experienced
kernel developer who regularly debugs kernels with binary modules in
them, that is?

Cheers,
Andy
