The module will be provided by dracut for at least the next two Fedora
releases, to be able to upgrade older installations with just yum.

that script in anaconda, so updates from media will not need any of
these steps. Manual updates with dracut will need that.

Only once, It can also be be entered one time at the bootloader.
