If the kernel module has a suitable licence for FC5, then it presumably has a
suitable licence for being included directly in the kernel. Thus, the correct
approach would be to get the support into the upstream kernel and therefore into
our base kernel package, rather than having a separate kmod package for it.

I strongly believe we should veto _all_ kmod packages in Core and Extras. The
only reason for kernel support not being upstream is because it's not acceptable
there.... which means it probably shouldn't be acceptable to us either.

And if it _is_ acceptable to us but isn't upstream for some reason, then we can
consider adding it to the kernel package properly. In certain exceptional cases.
You should file a separate bug (with patch) for that.
