I tend to keep at least three to four kernels. That allows me to test
things that I may not have noticed, later on, as well as revert back a
few stages should I encounter a fault.
Having several kernels installed only seems to make it a bit slower to
do yum update (more dependencies to calculate). And users more drive
space, obviously. I don't notice any other drawbacks.
I'd do updates when they come through, and just remove older ones
afterwards if they were a dismal failure, or when I had enough
alternatives to work around any other problems.
