We could require the majority of users, who don't use dkms or perhaps don't even use any additional kernel modules at all (binary OR dkms), to install a kernel package that grew from 70 MB to 100 MB??? No. Absolutely no. That is just insane, why do you think they were ever split in the first place? That would be a far, far, far more unpopular move (with pretty much everyone) than a relatively minor issue with the subset of Arch virtualbox users. People using dkms will just need to learn to install the headers manually. If people don't realize they need kernel headers, that is an argument to not push dkms vs. binary on unsuspecting users. Or to have a mandatory dependency on a kernel-headers package. I suspect *both* of these will happen. -- Eli Schwartz
