Yes, it does.The base for FC6 went from 2.6.18 to 2.6.20. Bug and
security fixes alone would not have necessitated the version changes
that followed. What I see is that the installonlyn plugin was created
to fix the side effects of Fedora Core's kernel update
mechanism/policy.

Security fixes are unpredictable. Bug fixes can be accumulated but you would have some unsatisfied users anyway.

We weren't talking about me, at least I hope not, but about less
knowledgeable users.
I hope our mutual goal is to improve Fedora Core.

Right. "You" is figurative.

By the way, regarding ideas for improving documentation:  It is highly
desirable to have man pages for all released software. Yum's plugins
seem to have fallen through the cracks. If the release notes are not
been maintained then I would recommend that any functional/behavioral
change be documented via comments in the .conf file. It shouldn't take
too much effort and is better than nothing.
