Needed? Probably not. At the moment it's not possible to build a normal kernel on one arch and the split on another. If we're going to go off and make changes to anaconda and yum and dnf to cope with this, consistency on what is shipped is probably a good thing. That being said, it is flexible in terms of the content of those packages. So ppc64 could do what you suggest. s390x would arguably just shove almost everything in -drivers. In reality, I expect most arches to just install both packages anyway. josh _______________________________________________ kernel mailing list kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/kernel
