Please note that as an ideal target, I would have all our kernel modules available via dkms _and_ via prebuilt modules for each kernel flavor we provide. I read on the dev IRC that few modules could only be shipped from sources. Not sure of that btw.
For example, we could, for simplicity says that we provide pre-built modules only for the main kernel and dkms for all others kernels.
What I would like is a team consensus/decision on how we handle kernel oot modules not complains directed on virtualbox only.
I vote for binary modules for all kernels in [core] and dkms versions. Kernels outside of [core] can have binary modules provided at the maintainer's choice.
We are going to need more opinions here to build a consensus... A
