No, I didn't want a security update to be ladt off if it missed a
kmdl. But if you install a kernel the moment it gets released (and
therefore there are no kmdls yet available) once the kmdls are there
yum-plugin-kmdl will make yum update get them for you.

I had submitted this plugin some while back and there was positive
response, but it wasn't merged into yum-utils yet.
