Because the extramodules directory is designated for thirdparty modules that are believed to be compatible with any kernel patch release of the same major.minor version. If the module needs to be recompiled with patch releases, it should be installed to the "main" modules directory.
Terrific thank you. Do you know where the directory removal logic is managed? /usr/share/libalpm/60-linux.hook doesn't seem reveal much to my eye - it treats 4.14.13-1-ARCH and extramodules-4.14-ARCH indistinguishably. When linux is updated to 4.15 extramodules gets removed somehow but not with a minor update. Thanks. gene
