Indeed, if I try yum install kernel-2.6.31-0.81.rc3.git4.fc12.i686.rpm, yum reports: kernel-2.6.31-0.81.rc3.git4.fc12.i686.rpm: does not update installed package.

Does this mean that an i686 kernel without PAE will still be built (my laptop processor does not have PAE so I am rather interested)? I note that the latest build on Koji has not built an i686 without PAE version, and the comments against kernel.spec revision 1.1639 suggests there won't be a non-PAE kernel. On the other hand, revision 1.1640 references Source31: config-i686, although I don't see that file in CVS.

We're really dropping support for all those old systems? I'm ok with it if it's been approved, but want to be sure before I start gutting the kernel of 586isms.
