kmod's are not in the upstream distro even:-(
the only problem with everybody has to face of is that you have to
recompile all kmods all the time when a new kernel released. for you
it'd have to be much more work since you've to do it for all platform
and for centosplus kernels etc. but i'm sure 95% of the time you just
made an rpmbuild --rebuild ...src.rpm. and it's always happened later
than the kernel released (even if you're very fast). and that's why many
people looking other solution. so that's why i assumed that may be
centos will change it's kernel module building.
but i understand that centos won't switch from kmod to any others in the
near future.
