It didn't work anyway.
Yum still pulled it out.

What did work in a test was:

copy /etc/grub2.cfg keep it safe somewhere.
copy the relevant kernel bits from /boot
keep them safe also.
The next kernel update,
merge the two copies of /etc/grub2.cfg

Copy the saved kernel bits back.
Now yum\rpm doesn't know anything about this kernel.
