Hi All,
As part of the F21 "Modular Kernel Packaging for Cloud" Feature[1],
I've committed and pushed the kernel packaging split up into
kernel-core and kernel-drivers subpackages. For those of you running
rawhide, this really shouldn't be a major impact at all. When you do
a yum update, you will see "kernel", "kernel-core", and
"kernel-drivers" packages being installed. The end result should be
in line with today's rawhide kernels.
Note: Unless you're using a typical VM or Cloud image, don't uninstall
the kernel or kernel-drivers packages. The machine may boot with just
kernel-core, but it will lack drivers for a significant portion of
bare-metal hardware without kernel-drivers installed.
Despite best efforts in testing, it's always possible a bug or two
snuck through. In the event that you do have an issue with this,
please file a bug against the kernel package.

I think you need a little work on this. Ok, to update (install) a new
kernel you execute:
yum update kernel
that same as it was previously.
BUT, if you want to remove that same kernel, for example doing:
yum remove kernel-3.15.0-0.rc3.git5.3.fc21
will only remove the kernel package and not kernel-core and
kernel-modules. Instead, you need to execute
yum remove kernel-core-3.15.0-0.rc3.git5.3.fc21
to get kernel, kernel-core, and kernel-modules removed.
I believe that for regular (non cloud usage) we should just need to deal
with the kernel package in both update and remove situations.
