Well, it can definitely be. In this specific case, I `yum upgrade'-ed

Xen (along with a bunch of other stuff, of course).

Mmm... I see. Well, I think it's quite possible that a kernel and a xen
update happen at the same time, so this seems quite an issue to me... Am
I wrong?

What can we do to improve the situation? Should I open a bug against
grubby?
