Decisions can be wrong especially when it affects complex matters that affects only few packages like less than 0.5% of all packages. The important thing is that any decision needs to be reevaluated from time to time and possibly changed. Otherwise you kill development. > There is another important trade off here.

Imagine running up2date/yum w/o any kmod-plugin support on RHEL5 and nuking your GFS (or AFS) modules away. You (and your clients) will not be amused. -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net
