 Well we needed "yum-kmod" for RHEL/CentOS 5 ... and I haven't heard
that we won't need it for version 6.
 Obviously we could put it in a separate package, but then we could do
that for most of yum-utils and if it wasn't for the fact that Fedora
reviews take 666 days I'd be happy with that.
 I think it's crappy that people changed what "kmod" meant, and didn't
tell anyone here before or after making that change ... so that might be
a good reason to rm the plugin.

 On the whole I'd be happy if someone deleted them all, but I reserve
the right to feel kinder next week :)
