That brings up a question though, how often would cloud expect to do a yum update of individual packages as opposed to just updating the entire image? If we expect the 3 kernel magic to work there, then

OK.
some changes to yum/dnf may be required given that Cloud would be explicitly specifying "kernel-core" and not "kernel".
There is a hardcoded default list for install-instead-of-upgrade packages -- I think we'd just ask for kernel-core to be added to that. Additonally, the protected packages functionality (which keeps you from removing the running kernel) may need a tweak.
Sigh. I was trying to keep it as self-contained to the kernel package as possible. Having to modify a bunch of other packages increases the test matrix and the hassle factor. Oh well.
