Not my experience, I have:

# rpm -q kernel
kernel-4.1.4-100.fc21.x86_64
kernel-4.1.5-100.fc21.x86_64
kernel-4.1.6-100.fc21.x86_64
kernel-4.1.7-100.fc21.x86_64
kernel-4.1.8-100.fc21.x86_64
# rpm -q kernel-devel
kernel-devel-4.1.4-100.fc21.x86_64
kernel-devel-4.1.5-100.fc21.x86_64
kernel-devel-4.1.6-100.fc21.x86_64
kernel-devel-4.1.7-100.fc21.x86_64
kernel-devel-4.1.8-100.fc21.x86_64

What I do not use is dnf, I'm still using yum....  Yet another instance
of dnf not working the same as yum.
