fact remains that addon packagers do have to deal with it, and I think
the community benefits at large if how to deal with stand-alone kernel
packages equitably became a concern inside Core, so that can we hammer
out a standard way to do this as part of the the Core development tree
testing process.

If DKMS gets added to either Core or Extras, then I think it would make
it easier to have addon module packages. Dell has used it in the past to
make ALSA RPMs for 2.4-based Red Hat distributions and that sort of
thing.
(I don't think I'll be able to make DKMS packages for Extras or anything
like that right now, however; right now I'm up to my eyeballs in kernel
stuff.)
