I submitted an RFE (bug 770444) to include kernel-modules-extra in the default list of install only packages for yum.
The entire point of kernel-modules-extra is to get them out of the default install. If there are modules in that subpackage that are needed by default, then they should be moved back to the main package. [...]
That's afaics not what Bruno proposes. What he afaics means is: when a new kernel gets released, than the package kernel-modules-extra (just like the kernel itself) needs to be installed (like a "rpm -i" would do) and not updated (rpm -U), otherwise you loose the modules for current or older kernels on "yum update" every time a new kernel gets released.
Ah, indeed. My apologies Bruno, I misread "install only" as "install". Your RFE sounds good indeed.
