Yes, kernel-2.6.19-1.2895.fc6 broke PS/2 mouse functionality on some systems, one of which belonged to me. It took an additional three updates before an updated kernel was released which fixed the problem on my system. To date some users report their PS/2 mouse is still broken.
Since FC5 I have made it a practice of setting "tokeep" to 5. I do not maintain 5 kernels, but I keep the threshold at 5 for events such as the one above.
But the kernel you are running will be kept regardless of the setting. I have had it happen a few times where there have been several kernel updates before I got around to rebooting the machine. So I had a kernel or two that had never been booted removed, while the older version I was running was still installed.
