BIG SCARY NOTE: Due to the kmod changes, this will BREAK all module tools for users with their own kernels. If you do not rebuild your kernel after pulling in the new kmod, you're going to have a bad time. See the paste link above for inspiration.
This worries me, a lot. Can't we get a smoother upgrade path?
Not really. We could patch all things using kmod (udev and kmod's tools) to look in both /usr/lib as well as /lib, but that's ugly and doesn't really do us any good. We could make this rebuild coincide with the glibc rebuild to get rid of /lib, but you can't install glibc with /lib as a symlink until /lib/modules doesn't exist. The only way /lib/modules doesn't exist is if people with custom kernels rebuild them into /usr/lib/modules. d
