what is wrong with the CentOS policy ?


I dont see any harm in removing from the main repo's kernels which are now known to have issues and exploits. Besides, we still maintain the full compliment of all kernels and updates released within the point release, as well the centosplus kernels and updated fixed kernels for issues that people are facing at the moment.
