I have difficulties to understand how changes to the GA repositories should get around this dependency problem: Even if 'kernel-devel' and 'kernel-default-devel' packages were published in GA in different versions, a simple system update would always change them to the most up-to-date version which would then be incompatible with Nvidia driver builds. (Re-)Installation of Nvidia RPMs would then require a (forced) downgrade of the installed kernel-devel and kernel-default-devel packages, because there can be only one version of these packages in the system. The next system update would then update kernel-devel and kernel-default-devel again ... If kernel ABIs nowadays may break with newer versions of the kernel, there is no way to use modules compiled at random system states for all kernel versions. Maybe switch to DKMS consequently and build the modules for every single kernel version instead of trying to link modules around?
