Fantastic?? That's a really bad idea and I do not see the sense behind
this step. It is wasted space (30MB and 6500 inodes per kernel on the
*root* partition) and it is impossible to prevent their installation. And,
to build new kernel-modules for another kernel I would have to install the
entire new kernel although headers would be enough.

I would appreciate it when the headers would be in a separate rpm or at
least, when they would be under /usr/src where I can do %_netsharedpath
magic.
