Who said that? :)

atrpms has bttv/saa7134/ivtv/nvidia/alsa/lirc in-development kernel
modules in the "bleeding" section ("bleeding" defined as in "supposed
to be broken, possibly eating your children"). Currently not even the
naming/versioning schemes have stabilized.
Having said that (and given that you have made sure your children are
safe somewhere) you are invited to test them and packaging bug reports
in private mail are welcome.
The atrpms kernel is the Red Hat kernel with updated v4l2/i2c bits (as
well as SGI's XFS). This is considered well tested. You need such a
kernel to test the binary kernel modules.
