I don't think Extras should get in the business of building new kernel
modules for old kernels which have been replaced for security reasons.
 So can we say that PWC driver must be used from kernel inside and
not installed externally and thus there will not be any need exist to
have latest PWC kernel driver built for any older kernels in Fedora
Extras?

Parag.
