That's great, for people who already know what to do. The problem is for
people who try to install dkms or akmods and then it doesn't work. There
are plenty of people who use dkms or akmods modules but don't compile
anything themselves (and those people are less likely to understand the
kernel-devel issue).

which issue?

you get the most recent kernel-devel and that's it

if you don't reboot to the most recent kernel installed on your system before biuld dkmos/akmod modules - bad luck - but how is that a Fedora problem at all - both are helpers in case of wrong hardware decisions and so you need in the worst case to ivent 10 minutes of our time you saved by bouy random broken hardware

that *is not* a Fedora problem at all - period

        This has also been a problem for several releases with the
        akmods from
        rpmfusion. I think the more "correct" solution (read to the end)
        would
        be to somehow prioritize the kernel-devel package (possibly
        multiple)
        that matches the installed kernel(s). kernel-debug-devel is
        never the
        "correct" choice when only standard kernels are installed, but
        it gets
        installed because of alphabetical order; this ordering is one
        way to get
        something useful installed instead. This of course is
        pie-in-the-sky and
        doesn't match with how dependencies can currently be declared and
        resolved, AFAIK


    honestly that is a *non* problem at all

    * if you need to compile modules you need kernel-devel
    * if you *once* had it installed yum7dnf will keep it up-to-date
