The update failed because it was trying to install the wrong kernel
upgrade.  I was told at one point that this wouldn't be an issue past
8.4.11, but we should make sure that we get people there.

Does this really work with an empty /var/athena/release-rpms?
I don't actually understand how the upgrade knows which kernel rpm to
try to install.
