The original source for this statement comes from this twitter conversation:

as quoted by Phoronix:
  https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Lenovo-Fedora-Starts-Sale
> Lenovo is making use of a stock Fedora Workstation installation without any vendor customizations but will be relying upon the existing Fedora/FESCo processes should any changes be needed moving forward. 
> 
> Former Red Hat developer Alberto Ruiz also commented, "*The other thing they're doing right is pressing the silicon vendors to support Linux upstream too. Lenovo trully is pushing the envelope here.*" Fwupd/LVFS lead developer Richard Hughes of Red Hat also commented, "*Can confirm; worked with dozens of ODMs and ISVs on behalf of Lenovo.*"

So I think this is significant.
