package-cleanup --orphans
Remove old kernels keeping 3 and leaving old kernel-devel packages
installed:

List all leaf packages with no files in a bin directory whose name
begins with either 'perl' or 'python':
package-cleanup --leaves --exclude-bin --leaf-
regex="^(perl)|(python)"
FILES
As package-cleanup uses YUM libraries for retrieving all the informa-
tion, it relies on YUM configuration for its default values like which
repositories to use. Consult YUM documentation for details:
/etc/yum.conf
/etc/yum/repos.d/
/var/cache/yum/
