Because it doesn't hurt, and it much easier to push all the errata out 
in one group than in individual places.

That was actually a slip-up, will be fixed soon.  it was supposed to be 
the x86_64 version.

This mkinitrd from S.L. 4.2 was actually something that we found the new 
kernel depended on.  Since that wasn't in our regular scripts and 
checks, and had to be added by hand, looks like me slipped on that one.

On a related note ... the openssh errata required the latest audit which 
requires (still double checking) ... my I love the errata that comes out 
when they fire off a new update, the dependancies are annoying.
