Because the extramodules directory is designated for thirdparty modules

Terrific thank you.
Do you know where the directory removal logic is managed?
/usr/share/libalpm/60-linux.hook doesn't seem reveal much to my eye - it
treats 4.14.13-1-ARCH and extramodules-4.14-ARCH indistinguishably. When
linux is updated to 4.15 extramodules gets removed somehow but not with
a minor update.
Thanks.
