	For what it is worth, I have in /etc/yum.conf the line:
exclude=kernel*

and it is working just fine. On every update now I see the line on the 
screen saying global instructions are considered.

	An important part of this setup is that the kernel update just goes 
away. If you just unselect a kernel update it will keep trying to send it.
