Therefore the default behaviour is to install the new kernel as a
default, which (hopefully) manages to boot during the next startup,
and leave removal of the old kernel to the user.

The nightly yum by cron automatically install the new kernel, and the
old kernel is not removed. The new kernel will be the default at boot
time.
This is what happens with my configuration :-).
Mine too. But I believe this is a relatively new feature in yum: I've
seen discussions in the past about not using yum (the old version) for
kernel updates, because it wouldn't configure Grub correctly. Anyway, it
seems to work great now.
