I tend to agree, though it's a hazardous possibility, and the sort of
thing that's usually covered by an alias, or required option, to the
command.

While I might well install/upgrade a non-specific kernel.  If I were
going to remove a kernel, I'd be specifying which particular one.  And
those doing something just like "yum update", with no further parameters
(perhaps, other than the less-than-clever "-y"), the installing of the
latest kernel and removal of the oldest one, ought to be automatically
handled the way it always has done (by the update routine).

George Orwell's '1984' was supposed to be a warning against tyranny, not
a set of instructions for supposedly democratic governments.
