What is the point ? kernel-source is installed directly but not kernel itself, i think this is not consistent !
Carryover from old days when "upgrade" of the kernel could potentially screw up your system. It was not newbie friendly, so it was removed. The kernel install scripts are much better now and urpmi is much more intelligent about upgrade versus install, but nobody has made the call to change it back to the old way. It's been this way for a couple of years now, but then again, when was that ever a reason to not consider a change...
I think that the current method is good. There are still cases when some
cooker kernels causes problems for some people. (Problems with gcc 3.3 about one week ago for example)
What I would like to see is that the kernel-src would not be updated unless kernel is updated.
