Since when? Why? Where was this discussed?
It will 4 years in July.

I believe there may have been a brief discussion between kwizart and me on IRC.
They were dropped due to workload and lack of active maintainers' look at the stats.

The infra and release tasks add additional workload.
A compiler has no business being on end users' systems. Fedora is not
Gentoo. The akmod approach is flawed, independently of Silverblue etc.
Users would still need a compiler to install the nvidia.run file if we stopped providing
nvidia or all other kmods.
RPM Fusion used to provide compiled kmod packages for years, and
those just
worked. (Well, for the proprietary ones, they only worked as well as
proprietary drivers work to begin with, but that was no fault of the kmod
packages.) So why and when did that stop?
And the way Silverblue works, it is just not possible for them to support
akmod packages, by design. I consider this a major design flaw in
rpm-ostree. But RPM Fusion refusing to provide binary kmod packages does not
help, either.
I don't have any spare time due infra and release tasks, you can do the kmod rebuild
tasks if you want them back?
