Yes, I think that is worth doing. Let me explain more. :)

We're talking about having monthly refreshed images, with all bugfixes and
security updates and everything together. When there is a critical security
flaw in a package on the latest update, we also want to produce an
"off-cycle" one manually. If we can look at the CVE and see that the image
isn't impacted, we can skip it.

Someone then doing a yum install of the driver package on top of the image
would presumably also get the new version and base kernel update.
