An argument against adopting kmdls presented by Thorsten Leemhuis is that

• it's too late now to fix it, we should live on with kmod bugs for RHEL5's life-cycle (ending 2012 ...)

• too many packages for kmod are written (but actually there is only one in Fedora Extras 5, the rest is pending or in other repos and if other repos count, then ATrpms has several dozens of kmdls :)

I think this argument is invalid. We should ban _all_ module packages from Core and Extras anyway.

That's a valid viewpoint. Assuming Fedora Core/Extras indeed bans all external kernel module packages, does it have the authority/interest to maintain a kernel module packaging guide? If not who should?
