"yum remove" gets all matches. 

The cleanup bit above is only necessary because yum is configured to install
new kernels alongside previous ones instead of upgrading, leading to dozens
of installed kernels on old FC releases if you're not watching. Newer FC
has the "installonlyn" plugin enabled by default, which makes it so only n
(defaults to 2) versions of packages in the install-instead-of-upgrade list
are left on the system.
