Why?

To the best of my knowledge, the problem you have with kmods/alternate 
kernels is that people complain when they break, and they fill bugzilla 
with bugs that don't make sense -- because people don't understand that 
they're running funky kernels.

Right?  Are there any other reasons not to package these alternate 
kernels?

Because that's a valid reason.  But it also gives us something to shoot 
for: better reporting tools.
