This might've been a prudent approach for the days long gone.  But, in the 
age of Fedora, I'm not that optimistic.

Just recently I had to temporarily roll back a few kernel builds.  Something 
broke in usb-storage.  I didn't notice it for a while, because I don't use 
my digital camera that often.

I now keep a minimum of current+three previous versions of the kernel.  Plus 
-smp.
