[Yum-devel] Now that we have a kernel module standard

Hello,

At the end the solution should be as broad as possible, so please don't
build up walls between FE and FC.
FC currently has only few kernel drivers outside of the kernel rpm,
so there is less pressure to solve this in FC. It is great if this
is all started in FE and leads to a sensible design, but the end
result should indeed be used across as many distros as possible.

FC is something we want to share publically and FE is even more
open/shared.

regards,

Florian La Roche

P.S.: Actually great to have yum modules, so the question on where
      to start this and build it up is really not that important to
      get started with this project.
