There was some discussion about this before but I'd have to find it in the list
archives. I'm not sure it's really a problem, per se, but there is a major
difference between EL based distro's and Fedora... Supposedly (I'm not an
expert here) kernel ABI compatibility is maintained within a release (6.1, 6.2,
etc) so the value of akmods on an EL based system is very much reduced, you
would be rebuilding kernel modules every kernel upgrade when you don't need to.

They use a similar method to akmods on ELRepo and use a different (but related)
system to build kernel modules.

What kmod are you in need of specifically?
