The problem is this:

The kernel binary RPM contains this pre-built initrd. The kernel source
RPM does not contain the sources necessary to make this pre-built initrd.

This makes me rather uncomfortable from a Licensing perspective. I'm
also concerned about it from a security perspective, as these binaries
are very likely to be overlooked when security updates are pushed.
