We didn't add the obsoletes given that the names were only ever used in
test releases/rawhide and updates between that and final aren't
guaranteed.

And the reason you missed the tidbit is that I forgot to send mail.  We
were having issues just getting rebased kernels working for a while and
then I forgot to send once the change actually went in.  We've gone back
to kernel-xen0 and kernel-xenU as that is needed to make it possible to
build extra kernel modules against these packages as defined by the
Fedora Extras Kernel Module Package Policy
