Recently I was told to set remove_leaf_only=1 in yum.conf, which should help remove only the leaf node packages and nothing else. So I set it. 

The connection may not be obvious to you, but it's there. You shouldn't ever 
remove kernel. You may want to remove a specific kernel (that you are't 
currently running), but then you need to include a version number.
