that one is touchy. Anyone building modules for distribution might
want to keep the -devel packages around even if the kernels themselves
go away. But thats sort of a special case compared to the 90% usage
case.

As a user,even a user who occasionally needs to rebuild modules
locally i dont need the kernel-devel packages on the system if the
kernel is no longer there, so I'd want the -devel packages and any
associated module packages to disappear with the old kernels.

But there might be a need for a blacklist/whitelist for this plugin so
people can set specific wildcard lists to be ignored   
ignore=kernel*-devel     for example if you need to keep the devel
packages around without the kernels.
