Good to know.
I'd be happy to throw kernel-unsupported into the release, but it
doesn't look like there's any mechanism to ensure that
kernel-unsupported is installed before kernel, so the update could still
fail on machines whose initrd files depend on an unsupported module.
Nor does rpmlib seem to provide a way to externally guarantee that
ordering.
