I think I agree, but smp is not explicitly addressed by the above.
Indeed and I wanted to point this out as well, but you were faster ;-)
IMHO, the "right way" [TM] to do this would be to change the default for "installonlypkgs=" in yum.
I'd also vote for this as it seems (to me, at least) to be the least invasive.
(Any need for multiple kernel-doc versions?)
Hey, you were faster here too... For the small security updates (like the 42.0.2 and 42.0.3 from your example) there is probably no point to have multiple kernel-doc packages. It might be worth doing it for versions with real differences where maybe new drivers or whole subsystems (f.e. InfiniBand) are added and hopefully also related documentation, but the problem of identifying these real differences is probably not the job of "yum" (and no, I don't have an idea whose job should be...)
