Well maybe this happens (probably not this year :-) ). No one but RedHat could know if they would do so.
But if the modules can be build from the same source tree, I see no problems with including all the modules in one RPM.
openafs-kernel-<something>-rh.<version> could be designed to deliver the modules for stock and errata kernels of
a given RH version. I don't think it matters, if the kernels in there are both x.y and x.y+2 .
If we would need two different kernel-source RPMs for the different kernel versions, then we have to deliver
openafs-kernel-source-<AFS version>-rh.<RH version>.2<2|4|6> RPMs, but that's a another story.
