If you're referring to yum's behaviour of denying all available updates
if there's one problem somewhere - kmods are pretty much unaffected by
that because they're co-installed, not upgraded as usual so lagging
behind a bit should not prevent any other updates.  And even if they
would be affected, that's a problem in yum and needs to be fixed there,
no?
