This is not entirely true. There is not much we can do about out of tree modules when they don't work with the latest kernel version for whatever reason. If the issue is in our packaging, I do try to keep things working. For instance, we added a number of deps to kernel-devel for 5.12 because what was there was not adequate for 'make prepare' to run, which was required for some modules.
