I think the first is preferable; the main case where you get a kernel
without the drivers package is when you're building something intended to be
small, and going downwards isn't the way to really do that.

Apparently this is by design in dnf; it's one of the features they didn't
see as valuable. Which is funny to me because that was the case with yum
initially too (we wrote it as a plugin for that reason) but over time it
became a core feature).
