Thanks Rex - I knew there was an answer I hadn't found...
But, I also knew that what I was wanting to do was as per the kernel -
so, why isn't there an 'installonlypkgs' line for the kernel in dnf.conf
- I would have found what I was after if there was...
If fact, iirc, I believe I looked at 'installonlypkgs' in the man page,
noted waht it said about kernels and dismissed that option because there
is no line in dnf.conf for the kernel...
My dnf.conf:
[main]
gpgcheck=1
installonly_limit=3
clean_requirements_on_remove=True
exclude=master-pdf-editor-4.3.89-1*
excludepkgs=master-pdf-editor-4.3.89-1*
Any comment?

dnf assumes only 1 copy of any package, *unless* you set installonlypkgs in
dnf.conf. A snippet from 'man dnf' :
installonlypkgs
...
List of provide names of packages that should only ever be installed,
never upgraded. Kernels in particular fall into this category. ...
