I checked how many kernels were physically in /boot and there was only 
ever 1, which annoyed me because I'd just moved from Mandriva to Fedora 
18 where Mandriva would not remove any old kernels at all and I used to 
manually retain 3 kernel versions, even with smartpm 1.4.1 from 
upstream, which I'm using under Fedora as well. Smartpm doesn't use yum 
for its backend it uses rpm, so the functionality should be the same 
under both distros, especially when its all script based.
