Yessir,

Flaming windoids is only a part-time affair.  :D

Looks like as late as RedHat 7.3 they still gave the same advice except prepending a section for GRUB. Makes me wonder if "installkernel" wasn't added until 8.0. I know I didn't discover it until 8.0.

Nope, it's also in the RedHat 8.0 Customization guide. What's up with that? Doesn't RedHat even know about their own software? Why would they make you jump through hoops when you don't have to? Hmmmm....

[edit]
Damn, you cut out the original post. I just figured out what it must mean. If you follow the customization guide for upgrading the kernel you will need to do it the way the question stated. The reason for this is it is not referring to a customized kernel that you recompiled yourself from the kernel source. It is referring to a new kernel that you download from RedHat in a prebuilt format. Then the question would be valid. However, the new default boot loader is still GRUB.
