Out of curiosity, isn't having to have each package manager front-end special case the kernel kinda grotesque? Should maybe packages that can be and prefer to be parallel installed over updated have an RPM header that states this, so that any package renames or new packages that need this behavior will just work? One place it would be useful, for example, would be driver package for out-of-tree drivers (yes, GPL ones, too).
