With many minor releases, we update the version of openafs for that minor

With SL 5.5 we updated openafs to 1.4.12, and we are about to push that
version out to the rest of the SL5 releases. It currently is in testing, and
it has passed every updating test I could think to throw at it and it updated
without any problems.
We plan on pushing this out on Monday - 12 July 2010
To test or update

yum --enablerepo=sl-testing update kernel-module-openafs\*
or you can download rpm's by hand at

Would there be any interest if we provided kmod-openafs modules that are
kernel-agnostic (or kABI-tracking as we say) from ELRepo ?
The advantage is that the modules keep on working through kernel-updates,
which makes update-cycles (and maintenance) to be less work.
I am tempted to create those packages, but without an interested party
that can provide sufficient testing the effort is kinda moot.
Let me know,
