Just to be accurate - this isn't rpm's fault, it's a program called 'grubby'.

I understand the reasoning - if you just installed a new kernel, you probably
want it to be the one started at next boot.  But it would be nice if grubby
had a configure option for that in /etc/sysconfig/grubby or someplace...
