I'd really really like it if someone inside the fence line could find
(or be allocated) the time to sit down and think through DKMS and see
if it makes sense to provide DKMS in core,  as the preferred solution
to some of the add-on kernel-module problems. I don't know if if DKMS
can solve all of the add-on module issues, I'm no expert, but I'd have
to agree that right now DKMS looks like a best path forward to me.
