the biggest problem with the kernel-module packaging discussion is that
all of the solutions y'all have come up with have been excruciatingly
complex. We've discussed them on the yum-devel list and the result is
'ugh, these are painful' both to implement the code for and to develop
the packages themselves. I'm not sure any solution will match up to
everyone's concept of 'correct'.

Agreed. This is most of the reason I haven't done any more work with
added kernel module functionality to Yum. Complexity should be in the
tools rather than depend on each packager to make a complex package
"correctly."
