[fab] Kernel Module packages in Core and Extras

[Josh Boyer]

Hi all,

There have been a couple discussions about kmod packages that have
popped up on fedora-extras and fedora-devel.  While they started as
specific discussions about particular modules or how modules are
packaged, in both threads there have been questions as to whether or not
these kinds of packages should even be in Extras and Core.

To provide a bit more background, read:

and

https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2006-August/msg00125.html

Given that two of the kernel maintainers for Fedora have these opinions,
the question becomes whether they should be allowed in Extras (and Core
eventually) at all.

I'd like the board to review this soon.  Given that there is an ongoing
discussion about how to package such things, it would be good to get a
decision on their feasibility as packages to begin with.
