Probably because some of us who run cooker on NVidia boxen who need
working OpenGL are tired of recompiling kernel modules every time we
upgrade our kernel.

And it's not just NVidia, it's also now Ati, and also the winmodem
drivers.

Agreed, but see how fun it is to keep up with the cooker kernel for 6
months and let me know ...

I still need to get ariound to writing a script I can run from cron for
rebuilding all the kernel modules I need (NVidia, Lucent Winmodem) every
time kernel-source has been updated ...
