Aside from the "what the hell have they done now" reaction, I guess
I'll have to go look into it.

I do have other modules and I don't want yum to remove them.

I've filed a bug report on this,

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=438181

One user already responded that

yum-fedorakmod

Is supposed to prevent.  I'll try, but I'm not optimistic because not
all modules follow the "Fedora Extras packaging standards" described
in that package's information.  For example, I have been using for a
very long time a kernel module called openafs-kernel.  I know it can
be repackaged as kmod-openafs, but doing so would break about 20
machines.  So I don't want to.
