Re: [CentOS] Re: kernel source for 4.4

I miss the kernel-source rpms, instead of the .src.rpm ones... so much easier to install without having to remember those rpmbuild commands or whatnot. Wonder why kernel-source is no longer available?

Support, or the implication there-of I'd guess. If they provide an easy package to rebuild your own kernel, then there's the implication that you'll help when J. Random (L)user tries and breaks it. With a src.rpm, that expectation deminishes somewhat. I recall a conversation with a RH support person about the calls they'd get demanding support for the 'unsupported' kernel rpm that used to be as well. It too went the way of the dodo.
