I think the idea is to create some infrastructure inside the build system so that new kernel module packages can be automatically spun up when a new kernel update lands... minimizing the lag between the availability of a new kernel in Core and new kernel addon modules in Core and Extras. The goal.. being able to release the full set of kernel module addon packages at the same time that a kernel update is released. DKMS as a starting point for buildsystem infrastructure to trigger automated module package rebuilds is not completely left-field, but there might be simplier script solutions that can trigger off of buildrequires in the srpms. Then of course you still have to work through the packaging issues that will allow updates to kernel module packages to install seemlessly when installing the new kernel. -jef
