When linux is updated to 4.15 the old 4.14.13-1-ARCH modules directory 
will be removed and I assumed (possibly incorrectly) that the same is 
true for the extramodules-4.14 directory. I guessed, perhaps wrongly, 
that both of these were mediated by pacman hooks in 
/usr/share/libapm/hooks/xxx.

Otherwise we'd have a slew of unused directories building up in 
/usr/lib/modules. In fact this did happen I believe a long time back.

Thanks for explanations.
