The main reason for this extras-work is that we want to tell everyone: "Get your
shit into the kernel soon, that the proper place for it. kmod are only a interim
solution" (sorry, sounds a bit harsh, but I think these words describe the
situation well).

In the begining we even considered rules like "kmods are only allowed for 18
months in Extras -- that should be enough time to get stuff upstream (e.g. into
the kernel)"
