Why would suddenly yum/apt work better? The issues brought up with
the
current kernel module scheme didn't address the actual contents of the
packages and Toshio's suggestion only discusses the contents.
So any raised issue on the naming/versioning of kernel module packages
still remains as discussed - including non-rpm conformant behaviour of
such packages with the rpm -U/-i nuke/conflict situation, which is still
not "fixed" on yum level or any other depsolver's (and having looked
into yum's plugin system which is quite nice BTW, I don't know whether
it will be "fixable" at all)
If the existing fedorakmod.py plugin in yum-utils does not handle
installs, upgrades, and co-installs of kmod style kernel modules then
I'd like a detailed bug report please.

"Fixing yum or the yum plugin" is in quotes, because it is not yum
that has any deficiencies, but the current kernel packaging
scheme.
The kmdl scheme works with yum already even w/o a plugin and a plugin
under 100 lines enables coinstalls for new kernel packages.
