But you'll need plugins for both schemes to catch the situation

for it available, otherwise you can end up with unbootable system.
The kmdl plugin has two modes that cover that:
o yum install: Only triggers kmdl coinstallation if a kernel will be
installed in this transactions and only for this kernel
o yum update: Check for new available kmdls for already installed
kernels
kmdls will by definition - be it a 3rd party or an ISV/ISH - be shipped
delayed. Maybe not for RHEL where selected partners get early access
to final bits to prepare their add-ons, but certainly for non-premioum
partners and for all Fedora land.
Therefore any plugin needs to be able to asyncronously fill the
gaps.
