Win4Lin (ask if the next yum kernel update would need to be seperately patched????)

It would appear that on May 2, Bill Diamond did say:

Pardon me for jumping in Bill, but would you happen to know if one of
these options would result in a kernel that yum would be able to keep up
to date for me like it does now???? or would the next yum kernel update
be missing  "features" required for win4lin????

I'm not quite sure I want win4lin. But occasionally I consider the idea
that if I find that I can insulate it from any possible internet access
I may decide I want it. But the only way I would even think of doing this
to fedora is if yum would be able to continue updating my kernel without
having to repeat the process you just described for the OP...

I wouldn't object to having to do it again after updating from FC1 to FC2
or from FC2 to FC3, but I'd need to know that yum would be able to auto
install updated kernels within each core level the same way it does now.
