The kmod and the matching userland package will get uninstalled by yum 
automatically sooner or later together with the old kernels. So only 
akmod package would been to be obsoleted. But I'm not sure if that's 
worth the trouble and it might create more problems then it solves for 
those that want to keep the kmods for the older kernels around in case 
they boot them again...
