Yeah, the packages pulled in by gcc (glibc-devel) and kernel-devel are the main drawback. But, as much as I don't like installing anything which isn't _really_ required on a system, since these 3rd party kernel modules shouldn't be something everyone needs, and since the full kernel sources aren't required nowadays (only the much smaller kernel-devel), it's a "limited" drawback, that people wanting to install 3rd party kernel modules should be willing to accept ;-) Note that one can also use dkms to create rpm packages of the modules, I haven't tried that, but it would add a layer of complexity to the packaging and the build system. I definitely prefer keeping things as simple as possible.
