"exclude" in yum.conf and yumex.conf

[Jim Tate]

FC13-i686

I do not want to update the Fedora kernel, kernel-headers.
  I put in  yum.conf and yumex.conf , exclude=kernel and 
exclude=kernel-headers but yumex still tries  to update the kernel. Why ?

I do not have any kmods or kernel-devel installed

#  This is the default, if you make this bigger yum won't see if the 
metadata
# is newer on the remote and so you'll "gain" the bandwidth of not having to
# download the new metadata and "pay" for it by yum not having correct
# information.
#  It is esp. important, to have correct metadata, for distributions like
# Fedora which don't keep old packages around. If you don't like this 
checking
# interupting your command line usage, it's much better to have something
# manually check the metadata once an hour (yum-updatesd will do this).
