The precompiled kmod-nvidia packages where hell, because they sometimes
needed days to get online.
While people where waiting, the system did not boot into the newest
kernel as the needed driver was missing.
akmod is the much better solution for this.
Yes, some sort of automated solution would only work if the kernel stopped
breaking the builds so often, requiring manual intervention. Lately I've
gotten a new kernel on my Fedora 31 install almost every update. It's just
too much to deal with. RPM Fusion has a small fraction of both the
infrastructure and volunteers as Fedora.
