I'm for binary modules for our -ARCH main kernel pkg. I see no real need for -lts modules but if there're a few people who find them useful I can handle the kernel rebuilds.
No opinion about dkms at all. DKMS could be useful if a foo-dkms pkg is able to detect all local kernels and build required modules without interaction. dkms packages for kernel for which we provide binary modules doesn't provide any more comfort for the user to me.
So far, everybody wants (or accept we need) a binary package for -arch kernel. So, I pushed a binary package for virtualbox -arch kernel modules.
I hope others dkms only packages (ndiswrapper, sysdig) will also provide a binary version for the -arch kernel. This would be a step forward in a common way of providing kernel modules.
Regarding binary modules for -lts,-zen,-grsec, I think we should either provides them or not. But not stay in each packager do is own choice.
I'm happy now, thanks.
