I think that 2 is a bad choice as it makes the CentOS kernel deviate from the upstream kernel.

But just the specfile, not the actual bits, right? And the specfile already has some specfile modifications:

- added i586 support for CentOS - changed the key to CentOS and not redhat

I'm not sure if this or the yum hack is better, but I tend towards doing it in the kernel.

Perhaps Red Hat could be persuaded to do so in the next "u" update, as well.
