It's undefined territory. What should the %post do? Add the older
kernel stanza as the latest one so by default you get the older kernel?
Yes.
When you go off the reservation with packages, you keep all the
pieces.
This includes moving your kernel beyond what your kernel module provider
has provided modules for.
Ok, I understand having to deal with stuff, but I'd rather deal with
the grub.conf fixups than the "lets break all yum updates" stuff.
Perhaps I should file an RFE at upstream yum.
