Nope - when yum installs a new version - it doesn't 'touch/change' the
older/other versions of the kernel. (so they continue to work - if you
reboot to them)

However - once you start using non-FC custom kernels - you might want
to use 'exclude=kernel' in your yum.conf - and manage kernel updates
manually.
