Actually they are fine for out of kernel modules too, as long as you
know how to find (or make) the kbuild package needed.  I have been running
2.6.28 for months now using the experimental kernel, and compiled out
of tree modules myself by simple creating the missing kbuild package.

I guess the kernel team figures if you can't make a little package
like that yourself, then you shouldn't be playing with experimental
kernels anyhow.
