You forgot the biggest "issue" (note the quotes): All the depsolvers would need special handling to install kmods for newly installed kernels. That works out of the box with the current scheme and IMHO is an important advantage of the current standard. Yes, there exists a yum-plugin already that handles it. But we would need something for up2date/RHEL5 too in case the ABI breaks -- I suspect that's to late.
In fact, I suspect that kmodtool could even include the necessary magic.
Sure, that would be possible. But we'll hit other problems after this major scheme change. We probably hit some in the old livna days, but I forget most of them already (sorry -- maybe I can skip though bugzilla to fresh up my mind). But I think sticking to the current scheme and solving the "install-conflicts" problem together with the kabi stuff would be the better idea.
