Right, we resolved the above in devel, so you should be fixed Dan.
The question is about the RHN channel part, which is still a bit
interesting. I'll ask.

From #spacewalk on freenode:
mccun934: mpdehaan_: perhaps the plugin obeys the skip-package stuff in
/etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date
[2:00pm] mccun934: check there for skip packages
[2:00pm] mccun934: pkgSkipList=kernel*;
Check there, and if that doesn't work, try asking on the spacewalk list
or #spacewalk as they are the keepers of yum_rhn_plugin.
Hope that helps!
