Thanks for the responses Joe and Patrick, I've checked the
installonly_limit in yum.conf and it is set to 3, which now confuses
me because I've never had more than one kernel installed even when
doing updates with yum. It has been this way for me since Fedora 18
which is when I first started using Fedora. I have 2 installed at the
moment because the last update I did installed a new kernel and I did
that update with DNF to try it out for the first time.
I've run an installed package check with smartpm and it is telling me
the 2 kernel and kernel-dev packages can't coexist so I'll be raising
a bug report on that with its developers.
I've fixed the issue with smartpm
reporting that kernels can't coexist
by telling it to allow multiple versions. I'm confused as to why it
complained about multiple kernels but not multiple kmod.nvidia packages,
and why exactly the same smartpm application run under Mandriva was
quite happy to allow multiple kernels without any configuration but
under Fedora its not. That is something that probably can't be resolved
here and is off topic for this thread, so I apologize for that.

Looking at the way DNF did its installs it doesn't seem to be any
different to yum other than it is obvious that DNF does parallel
downloads. DNF looks to have also reused some of the YUM code base as
when you issue the command dnf --help it displays the following
output:
--version show Yum version and exit
