dkms is much better than other methods. Unfortunately (as other posts
have shown) users do not understand it, and feel they don't need to push
for upstream kernel inclusion anymore. At least when Dell was the dkms
gateway it was asking driver writers to merge upstream. Now we're going
packaging for free, and many out-of-tree projects will only see as
validation of their strategy (especially if there is a drop in user
demand)
