There are probably few corner cases to work through such when there is a new kernel/kernel-devel and the corresponding kernel-devel isn't there. In this case it will need to pick the kernel-devel-uname-r from the transaction. Also this probably means that such plugin is installed "before" the akmod-foo installation is requested.
