How do akmods work ? Do you have to intsall both kmod and akmod ? Also, 
is akmod really a 0 maintainance solution like dkms ? Finally, dkms is 
particularly simple to package. Is akmod documentation comparable to 
that of dkms ?

To me, kmod can only be acceptable if AND ONLY IF the rebuild of the 
kmod packages is automated based on a RSS feed coming from Koji or Bodhi 
of some sort. i.e. guarantee a zero-time dependency break from kernel 
updates.
