I suppose I was rather counting on people to just do it by hand if
they were concerned. F37 branches next Tuesday, so it will still be in
the merge window.  I somewhat figured users that are willing to run
merge window kernels are probably a bit more capable of managing an
rpm downgrade if necessary.

I suppose I could have them untagged with each build (yesterday's
failed as I need filter updates).  That does get a bit problematic
though, as it would likely subject those kernels to deletion after
some time, and make it harder for people using them for a "koji
bisect".  Not really sure the right answer there.
