GFS is in FC6, too.
GFS in FC6 is included in the kernel package, not as an external module, so kmod vs. kmdls doesn't apply.
That's GFS2 you're talking about. GFS(1) still lives external to the kernel and has a different on-disk format so it isn't superseeded by GFS2, in fact every FC4/FC5 install using GFS needs this module to be in there when FC6 gets released.
There are currently no externally packaged kernel modules in Fedora Core or Extras development trees.
There is one in Fedora Extras 5 (em8300) and GFS is in a bugzilla review (#201077).
But agreed, there aren't that many kmods out there so it's really not too late nor too much work to convert them to something better.
