The problem with such wide statements as this is that users of other
distros will see the warning, and not trust the kernels offered, even
though Fedora is flat disabling the module in our kernel offerings.

Not sure how best to state that other than adding a "from the gentoo
project" or make it "DO NOT use any e1000e module from 2.6.27 kernels".
