When dealing with the general Fedora public (not those who typically pay
attention to the kernel in specific), I think kernel-drivers gives a
sense of "hey, I might need this package" when something is not working.
Kernel-modules-extra is really a package of things we expect very few
people to be using and should not be considered of the same urgency.
While yes, the naming is inconsistent with the two packages, I think it
is consistent with the intent.
