I'm not saying there is any benefit of one over the other, all I amsaying is that the package manager I currently use seems to be using the latter method when upgrades to the kmod.nvidia packages are required.
I use yumex every morning to keep my desktop up-to-date, and I use kmod-nvidia. When there's a new kernel, there's generally also a new kmod to match it, and the two get installed together. When a new kernel gets installed, the oldest one I have gets removed, and yumex reports that it's removing the matching kmod as a dependency of the kernel. I'm not sure, but I think that if I just used yum from a CLI, it would report things the same way. What package manager are you using?
