Most of my hesitation regarding the uname-r in name scheme is
because
this was fully discussed before and we decided on something different.
FESCo ratified it and we were going to be able to support in in FC6 and
RHEL 5.
Decisions can be wrong especially when it affects complex matters that
affects only few packages like less than 0.5% of all packages. The
important thing is that any decision needs to be reevaluated from time
to time and possibly changed. Otherwise you kill development.
There is another important trade off here. Right now
up2date/yum/whatever is able to suck down upgraded kernel modules just
like upgrades to a new kernel. This works without modifications to the
depresolvers because the package name is always the same.
No, you forget that this scheme either nukes or conflicts/coinstalls
the new modules. Imagine running up2date/yum w/o any kmod-plugin
support on RHEL5 and nuking your GFS (or AFS) modules away. You (and
your clients) will not be amused.
