seems to me that kmod-fuse, the new replacement for dkms-fuse, needs
a lot of additional kernels to have installed?

I guess yum will behave similarly, ie if you "yum install kmod-fuse"
it shouldn't pull in kernel-PAE and kernel-xen (of course these are
not necessary if you have the regular kernel).

Great, this solved it for me. After 'rpm -e dkms-fuse' and 'yum install
kmod-fuse' yum now doesn't ask any more for installing kernel-PAE and
kernel-xen. Thank you very much.

ok, this is an important item that I don't think can be avoided :-/

What we could do is allow both dkms and kmod packages in the repository (and consequently on the system), and make it more apparent which one is being used in this scenario.

For now, my conclusion is that pushing this tomorrow is not in scope :-/
