Red Hat doesn't really like maintaining kernel patches, and won't put in the effort unless it's deemed important to their user base. No need for a separate RPM if a recent aoe driver is part of the kernel. -Jeff -- Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.

I've also got aoetools and cec packages in that repo, so all those bits are just a yum install away once you've configured the repo [2]. I've also notified Coraid about the kmod, but have had nothing back. Of course, it would be nicer to have this stuff supported directly by RedHat, as Charlie is suggesting.
