So do I.  I also have a kmod-nvidia installed for each of them.
Ditto.
Thanks for the responses Joe and Patrick, I've checked the installonly_limit in yum.conf and it is set to 3, which now confuses me because I've never had more than one kernel installed even when doing updates with yum. It has been this way for me since Fedora 18 which is when I first started using Fedora. I have 2 installed at the moment because the last update I did installed a new kernel and I did that update with DNF to try it out for the first time. I've run an installed package check with smartpm and it is telling me the 2 kernel and kernel-dev packages can't coexist so I'll be raising a bug report on that with its developers. Looking at the way DNF did its installs it doesn't seem to be any different to yum other than it is obvious that DNF does parallel downloads. DNF looks to have also reused some of the YUM code base as when you issue the command dnf --help it displays the following output:

--version             show Yum version and exit
