I guess it'd be easiest if the kernel maintainers chimed in directly: /cc kernel-maint@fp.o I always understood the packaging guideline to be a mechanism to prevent users assuming that a kernel module installed from the repos is supported by the Fedora kernel maintainers. If the user has to compile the module from sources, it should be clear enough that this is outside of scope of support.
