Is there any reason why yum shouldn't allow an older "installonly" package to be installed when you already have a newer one?
It's undefined territory. What should the %post do? Add the older kernel stanza as the latest one so by default you get the older kernel?
When you go off the reservation with packages, you keep all the pieces. This includes moving your kernel beyond what your kernel module provider has provided modules for.
