There's no need for new repos.

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.
