weird yum dependencies between kernel and kmod-nvidia in F8

Hi,

I was running F8 with kernel-2.6.23.1-49.fc8 together with kmod-nvidia-100.14.19-18.lvn8 and 
kmod-nvidia-2.6.23.1-49.fc8-100.14.19-18.lvn8
.

When trying "yum update kernel" (for updating kernel to version 2.6.23.8-63.fc8), yum rejected this 
because the installed kmod-nvidia needs kernel-2.6.23.1-49.fc8. But inspecting the livna repos 
showed me that kmod-nvidia-100.14.19-19.lvn8 and  kmod-nvidia-2.6.23.8-63.fc8-100.14.19-19.lvn8
are absolutely available.

I had to uninstall all kmod-nvidia, then update the kernel and then install kmod-nvidia again.
Now my system runs with kmod-nvidia-100.14.19-19.lvn8, 
kmod-nvidia-2.6.23.8-63.fc8-100.14.19-19.lvn8 and kernel-2.6.23.8-63.fc8

Any issues?
