Sorry, but disallowing kmods completely in Extras looks a bit unfair
from my point of view: Fedora Extras and especially I invested a lot of
work to support kmods in Extras. And before we even started we
(jeremy(?)) asked davej (?) if kernel modules are okay for Extras. The
answer was yes afaics and we started after that. And now that we have it
and now that RHEL has a benefit of it disallow it? I feel like a dump
playball now. thx
