Ah, thanks for catching this.  It looks like kernel-2.6.23.14-60.fc7 was
in updates-testing for a while, was never obsoleted when -64 came in,
and was "approved" by the security team when that feature came about
recently (which requests that an update be pushed to stable).

Looks like some new features confused bodhi a little.  This shouldn't
happen again, as bodhi will now auto-obsolete older pending/testing updates.

I've obsoleted -60, and kicked off another mash of f7-updates.
