would need special handling to install kmods for newly installed
kernels. That works out of the box with the current scheme and IMHO is
an important advantage of the current standard. Yes, there exists a
yum-plugin already that handles it. But we would need something for
up2date/RHEL5 too in case the ABI breaks -- I suspect that's to late.
up2date/rhel5 isn't an issue.
rhel5 is basing off of yum - like fedora is. So the plugins available
here can be used there, too.
