Hi Adrian,

No, because Fedora kernels do not contain a stable kernel ABI (kABI) 
therefore drivers (kernel modules) must be built against each and every 
kernel release. Only RHEL (and it's clones) offers a stable kernel ABI 
that facilitates the kABI-tracking kmod packages that elrepo produces.

Hope that helps.
