I've recently been wondering why we haven't allowed kernel module
packages in Fedora since Fedora 8. I've tried searching through our
wiki and the mailing list, but I haven't come up with any concrete
reasons for why we disallow them.

If it is perhaps the issue of keeping things in sync with kernels we
provide (that is, maintainers didn't/couldn't keep up with new kernels
being pushed during a release cycle), then I think the situation has
changed.

We have two tools that can help us in this regard: akmod and Koschei,
both came after our policy change to disallow kernel modules.

akmod is a dirty hack and fails often enough for rpmfusion stuff

additionally you should *never* need GCC and devel packages installed on a normal enduser system for a ton of reasons
