This was not a change in the way Red Hat was handling GPLv2§2(a) compliance on Linux, because Red Hat never had the view that distributing separated-out patches was a form of GPL compliance in the first place. To put it another way, compliance with GPLv2§2(a) was unchanged by this change in packaging practice. - RF
