Yes, after looking at the f17 repo I see only the yum kmdl - no others 
at all.  The kernel on fedora 17 updates is 3.5.2-3, released on 22-Aug, 
just 3 days ago.

As I said earlier, I think kernel release triggers removal of 
non-matching kmdls when the next auto-update of Axels's repo occurs, but 
a new build may need action by Axel.  I don't know when that will 
happen. The changes you mention above may delay things even then.  The 
most recent set of updates - vlc etc - was mainly Paulo's stuff.

My systems seem to be working well, given their known limitations and my 
habits of use (SL6/Myth25.2/Intelgraphics and f16/Myth24.3/nVidia 
302.17) and I'm in 'If it ain't broke don't fix it' mode for the time 
being :-)
