That is what I thought, but wanted someone else's feedback. Progeny sometimes has updates not available via legacy. Hence, my approach has been legacy first and progeny second. Progeny had just released their newest kernel whereas the legacy one was released in Feb. However, even if I force install the progeny version, yum is going to want to install the current legacy version. Things do not seem to be broke, I think I will just let them be.
