Because that is what repomanage did, too:

http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/viewcvs/extras-buildsys/utils/extras-repobuild.py?hideattic=0&r1=1.17&r2=1.18&root=fedora

As I understand it, we want to keep kmod packages for old kernel
releases. If an updated kmod src.rpm is rebuilt for all kernel releases,
however, we can expire old src.rpms. Otherwise not.
