but a change in yum is enough ? from the comments in RedHat Bugzilla I interprete that a change in the kernel spec is also necessary (to provide "Provides" lines), is that true?
It is "either or". Either you add all kernel-*-devel packages to "installonlypkg" in config.py or just leave the kernel-devel package in there and let all kernel-*-devel packages Provide: kernel-devel.
So yes, it can be done by only changing yum.
So, do centos should make that deviation from upstrain specs just to be consistente with its own update's mechanisms? or a more specific yum-centos4 (and not so general as to honor the Provides line) patch is the way?
Yes, that is the question here. And I rather tamper around with yum, as this is only in CentOS and not in upstream.
