With this possibility, we need to move the kernel to tainted, as some
people claim that they found "283 issued but not yet court-validated
software patents that, if upheld as valid by the courts, could potentially
be used to support patent claims against Linux" :

So I agree that we should only use tainted for package with significant
risk.
