There would also probably be some disruption due to having

manually installing the rpms, but it is likely to cause at least
many warnings
from up2date, which will want to install the latest rpm, and if the system
doesn't have the latest kernel installed, up2date will complain.
It almost sounds like it might be interesting to try to build a DKMS
package for OpenAFS to automate this process [installing a
precompiled binary for the active kernel if available, compiling one
if not].
One could certainly posit a return to the "single RPM of all kernel modules"
approach. It all depends on the target audience of the RPMs.
Considering that
up2date will also install updated kernels I see little reason to not
put all the
openafs modules there, too. I mean, how does up2date deal with the various
redhat-distributed LKM RPMs?
