+1 for moving it straight into updates for reasons already stated plus isn't
a kernel upgrade dependent on user confirmation? I have always felt for this
reason that updates-testing is not the right place for testing kernels as
the installonlyn plugin for yum ensures that a backup kernel (hopefully
stable) is always available.
