Hi Dave,

I was thinking about this for a little while.

Can't we do this instead:

1.  move kernel-PAE.686 config options to kernel.686 (I'm going to refer 
to this as the "new" kernel.686)
2.  kill kernel-PAE.686
3.  modify the spec file for the "new" kernel.686 to obsolete 
kernel-PAE.686 ?

I'm probably missing something obvious but having PAE in there seems 
strange to me.

P.
