Mais tu fais comme tu veux 🙂
Bref, il y a des corrections de sécurité (c'est utile).
Il y a des corrections de bugs. Si le noyau marche déjà chez toi, c'est inutile.
Notes que up2date et yum ne mettent pas vraiment à jours le noyau. up2date et yum installent un noyau supplémentaire (vérifies le en faisant "rpm -q kernel"). Ce noyau supplémentaire est par défaut dans grub.conf. Si tu as des problèmes avec le nouveau noyau (ce qui peut arriver) tu peux toujours booter avec l'ancien.
