Your example of removing kernel is even more esoteric. Fedora wouldn't 
work at all without it. 

  Well, kernel one works when there are multiple kernels installed. It happens when yum installs a new kernel update. Each kernel brings along its respective kernel-devel, kernel-header packages.

Not exactly, but yes the kernel is set up so that multiple versions can be installed at the same time. You still can't erase them all; you need to specify versions when you do an erase. There all also depencies on miminum versions of the kernel, because some things won't work correctly with older kernels.
