Try yum update when the oldest installed kernel (and the running

doing an update (to make sure the wrong one wasn't removed) would be
a pain.
I would suggest that the fix for this is to not push broken kernels so
frequently that 'the oldest one is the only that works' becomes an
issue, and to introduce automatic testing that ensures you can at least
boot rawhide to the login screen, _before_ a build gets pushed out to
the masses.
And how would you envision this to work?
Wrt. kernel-bugs and bugs in other essential packages (e.g. xorg) it's
not that seldom users are affected by bugs which remain unfixed for
arbitrary long periods (occasionally years).
