I tend to agree based on what spot said in 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=470696#c7

proprietary kernel-modules might be in a similar area as above problem, but
from a quick look I'd say it's quite a different case because kernel modules
like kmod-nvidia 
 * are shipped independently of the kernel 
 * are seen as something like plugins by some people as the modules talk to the
kernel via an exported interface(¹)
So both things are not really comparable afaics (relying on the information
from above quoted comment here again;  I didn't take a closer look myself).

(¹) please note that this does not mean that something like that is my option
