I have to leave it that way 'cause I have no other choice
and it's not a secret that there's a lots of other hardware support code for hardware I don't have, I mean who doesn't know something called ""kernell"" who for the first instance has to guess in which hardware is running and loads only what it needs, but my objective is to point that would be nice to install or uninstall software just like kmod packages, if after a long time I wish to change my videocard and I want to uninstall kmod-nvidia package, I expect that yum or packagekit does not tell me that I need to uninstall eclipse, java or something not really related to it... and I know that building everything as a single module with a low coupling is not an easy task and that's what I said:

I'll tell you a dirty little secret: There's lots of other hardware support
code for hardware you don't have which is required by various dependencies.
Usually libraries which we have to build the packages against so they
support that hardware. That's why there are distros for control freaks
(e.g. Gentoo) which build everything from source and allow you to disable
stuff (and end up with something completely untested as a result). Needless
to say, I think you'd be wasting a lot more time rebuilding everything from
source than downloading a few kilobytes of unneeded (for you) hardware
support libraries. :-)
