But what if they deliberately want that setup? They can be getting a kernel 
from somewhere else. Maybe CentOS AltArch? (Running Fedora on a CentOS 
kernel used to mostly work, at least.) Maybe from some other distro, if they 
install the kernel manually? Or maybe they just compile the kernel 
themselves? Why are you attempting to second-guess your users that way?
