In most cases: No (and if then I'll get in contact with you). I will 
normally take care of rebuilding and pushing all kmods for newly 
released kernels as quickly as possible for stable releases (for rawhide 
the plan is to do it only once a week, but now that F-01 comes closer 
I'll likely do it more often).

Just the recent one.

No. The release repos (that are empty for F8 and F9) will take care of 
that, as all kmods there will be available for the kernels that ship 
with F-10; that way you can use rpm fusion in the installer as the deps 
for sure will work. Or you enable all the updates repos for Fedora and 
RPM Fusion and get the latest kernels and kmods
