radeontool.... why?

[Oscar<Soker>]

that's what I said:
I have to leave it that way 'cause I have no other choice
and it's not a secret that there's a lots of other hardware support code for
hardware I don't have, I mean who doesn't know something called ""kernell""
who for the first instance has to guess in which hardware is running and
loads only what it needs, but my objective is to point that would be nice to
install or uninstall software just like kmod packages, if after a long time
I wish to  change my videocard and I want to uninstall kmod-nvidia package,
I expect that yum or packagekit does not tell me that I need to uninstall
eclipse, java or something not really related to it... and I know that
building everything as a single module with a low coupling is not an easy
task and that's what I said:
I have to leave it that way 'cause I have no other choice
