Thank you Alan for sharing your expertise on this issue.  I also wonder if the kernel ever gets released under GPL v3.  If it does, then surely the binary stuff would be banned for good.

GPLv2 vs GPLv3 doesn't make much of a difference. There is no specific language covering proprietary modules in either license. It is copyright holders intent and the definition of derivative work that matters. Several copyright holders have clearly established their intent in the position statement.
