usually a problem since kernel updates do not remove kernels, I do

kernel
header file package being removed, and, of course, it is no longer
available in the Rawhide repository.
What is the officially correct way of getting back older kernel
header
packages?
Grab it from Koji, if it hasn't been garbage-collected. The rules on
garbage collection I'm not 100% sure of, but I think packages which
made the repos live much longer.
