2.  Will we eventually rename kernel-PAE.686 to kernel.686?
I don't think we can,

It'd be nice to get a definite answer from the anaconda/yum crowd.

otherwise someone with non-PAE 686's who
does an update will suddenly find themselves unable to boot.

Well, that -PAE at the things for users of RPM Fusion a lot harder, because they are used to "yum install kmod-foo" to get the kernel-module "foo" installed; in the future they have to either use kmod-foo or kmod-foo-PAE depending on what kernel they use.

Sure, that's not directly a Fedora problem. But it makes things more complicated for Fedora users. Which imho not only is the wrong direction -- it's wrose for the fame of Fedora, as people don't really differentiate between Fedora and add-on repos. That's why I'd be glad if we could get rid of the "-PAE"...
