[OpenAFS-devel] kabi-tracking kmods

Re-reading through the kabi thread[1] from last month, I'm trying to
understand: Is kABI tracking a lost cause with OpenAFS? Is it just
better to rebuild for every kernel update?

My small experience with kabi kmod packages is limited to ATI's video
drivers and OpenAFS. It has worked sometimes, but other times I've had
to rebuild against RHEL 6's newer kernels in order to get a module to
work properly. I'm wondering what's the best direction overall.
