I do the same thing and was just about to add a comment to the bug saying to do that (kernel*) but then realized that, no, kernel* isn't what I want. Becasue that includes kernel-source and kernel-headers which are needed at points (eg: glibc is built against -headers, and the source is nice sometimes too) even if you don't want yum fooling with your kernel.
