As kernel updates become available, the user will eventually build a

developer. But anything /less/ than that puts you at some non-starter risk.
Agreed, though I run the risk and often just keep two. Well, I'll
remove the third after the newest seems to work well, after a few days.
The more you have, the longer updates take, too. There's more files to
consider. My system's not too nippy (500 MHz Celeron), and I can notice
it's slower to do a "rpm -Uvh something.rpm" when I have three or more
kernels.
