Wireguard is merged into the mainline and would possibly appear in Fedora 32 on 5.6. Fedora 32 will be released several weeks later.

The underlying problem is that many distro just use a throwaway pubkey which makes users impossible to sign their modules. Maybe a better security model is needed.

yeah for this reason I've been super excited for kernel 5.6 (I don't usually get excited for new kernel releases cause it means work for me, but this one is different :party: )
