For 4), remember that we've also got smp (and in CentOS 4, which I'd also like to support, hugemem). #2 has some appeal, particularly since it avoids rebuilding the userland stuff for every kernel update, but it requires some careful consideration about the dependency relationship between the userland and module packages.... (I've been assuming a requires version-release kind of thing, but on reflection, that'd be *hard* and generally *not* wanted -- but then, in the cases where it *is* wanted, not possible.
