I think most LFS builders do not need to sign kernel modules, indeed
some LFS users try to avoid modules altogether. I really do not
think that many of our (LFS,BLFS) users will get any benefit from
signng their modules.
Also, while people building {.B}LFS on servers or firewalls are likely
to use ssh, I suspect that the proportion of our desktop builders who
use openssh is below 50%.
