That's news to me.  Never seen that mentioned before.  And I can't
remember how many years ago I started using akmods, possibly Fedora 11,
with the default kernels, and never noticed a problem.

If you're running stock kernels then you can just use the kmod packages. Because they (Fedora and RPM Fusion) are on totally different infrastructures there is sometimes a delay between the kernel being updated and the kmod package being updated which is one reason some people run the akmod package, but that's usually taken care of within a couple of days. This just requires you to pay attention and not attempt to boot the new kernel until the kmod package gets installed.
