Nope. I'll be doing a .17 update this week.
I've got a rebase ready, but want to make sure things like Xen work
before it gets pushed out.

Hopefully it'll be ready mid to late week.

You can increase the number of kernels to keep in
/etc/yum/pluginconf.d/installonlyn.conf

It's not aware of versions however, but if you're booted into the latest
2.6.16 update, it'll keep that around (as it never deletes the currently
running kernel).
