They weren't bad until now. For the last 3-4 kernel updates, which is the
time I've been using them, updates came real fast. Then, with
2.6.29.6-217.2.7.fc11.x86_64, I decided to give akmod a try, and it was a
complete failure. (Of course, that was with my video card, an Asus 
EN9400GT.)

Now, you tell me that DKMS, which is a less specific tool, would do a
better job?

So, if there's a kernel security update, as at least the 2 last updates
were, you don't update?

What does "if you want more packages installed" mean? I just want want my
video card to work with the most recent kernel.

Yes, I could register to a non-developer mailing list at RPMfusion, where
there's next to nobody, and ask what the hell is going on. But the fact
that an update is not issued is not a bug: they might have a problem
providing the update. I thought maybe someone here could have an idea of
what this problem is.

Why should I ask DKMS?

yum search dkms
Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit
=== Matched: dkms ===
dkms.noarch : Dynamic Kernel Module Support Framework

It seems all I have to do is install DKMS. Maybe you could explain what
happens afterwards.
