Now that 2.6.21-1.3228.fc7 is in updates the new mkinitrd needs to be there as 
well:

$ repoquery --show-dupes \ 
mkinitrd --qf "%{name}-%{version}-%{release}\t%{repo}"
mkinitrd-6.0.9-7.1      updates-testing
mkinitrd-6.0.9-5        fedora

$ repoquery --show-dupes \ 
kernel --qf "%{name}-%{version}-%{release}\t%{repo}" | uniq
kernel-2.6.21-1.3228.fc7        updates
kernel-2.6.21-1.3226.fc7        kernel
kernel-2.6.21-1.3228.fc7        updates
kernel-2.6.21-1.3194.fc7        fedora

Is this a real problem or could this be a result of lagged mirrors?
