If, for example, it simply installed into

to delete /lib/modules/VERSION when the corresponding kernel package
goes away (either using a scriptlet in the kernel package or an RPM
trigger, I imagine), and everything would work nicely without
injecting extra rpms into the system
rpm's remove files and folders they installed
if that folders are not empty because foreign files that files and the
folders will stay afetr remove - there is no "but" - it is unacceptable
when a package purges a whole folder due removal because you can't know
what and why the user stored there
any package doing such craft would need to be fixed
so don't propose any package should start such black magic
well, that affects me too because VMware workstation modules but it's my
job and not the business of the kernel package
