I think the consensus is to avoid new kernel module,
but allow them in a staging directory while being discussed upstream.
About the existing out-of-tree kernel modules, we must continue trying
to obsolete them with upstream work.

If you feel the consensus must be clearly stated and acked,
please send a patch for doc/guides/contributing/design.rst.
