 AFAIK, FESCO has not yet got their final conclusion. Its not yet made public
whether to ban kernel module or accept them. I think this is second time I am
asking FESCO to make decision in public early(whatever maybe either ban kernel
modules or accept needed kernel modules only).
 I already raised this issue on fedora-devel. If its been unclear to FESCO
itself then people will not stop submitting kernel module packages and same
discussion will get forked again and again whether to accept or ban kernel
modules and which one is good kmod or dkms packaging?
