This is good news for the idea of kernel update by RPM.  Thank You!

It seems to have also set up all the /boot stuff as well, right?

But I still wonder what has happened about the kernel-sources which
match the new kernel and its compile-time 'make xconfig'
configuration.   Presumably a new kernel-sources RPM for the new
kernel is downloadable, and presumably it is guaranteed to be set up
to exactly match the kernel configuration used to compile the new
kernel binary RPM.   I hope so, but I have never seen any such
assurance.
