Yes, with kernels too.  The old "it installed i586 instead of i686" bug
is quite a pain to resolve.  The usual rpm -qa kernel query gives no
hint which processor type kernel is installed.  You have to dig a little
deeper to work out why your i686 system is wanting to install an i586
kernel module during some update, and wanting to re-install other
software that's already installed (it wants a different processor
version of the same thing, but doesn't actually say so).

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
I read messages from the public lists.
