Kestrels are currently a bit overpowered. They are still slow, so they aren't quite so good for attacking battleships, but for frigate vs frigate combat they are very difficult to stop.
Assuming you have level 5 caldari frigate, you get a 25% bonus to kinetic missle damage and a 25% bonus to firing speed. Add on a few ballistic controls, and you've got a very cheap frigate that can blow up interceptors (even taranis's) before they know what happened.
I engaged one last night in my armor tanked claw and lost. I was getting hit with tons of small missles, and they were doing 100 points of damage each!

I doubt a taranis will lose to an kestrel assuming both pilots are of reasonable skill, but its certainly not implausable.
I saw 2 friends lose taranis's to kestrels yesterday. Not at the same time, but both in the same manner. Both the taranis pilots were PvP veterans with over 10 million skill points. The taranis is still better all around, but kestrels are uber for frigate vs frigate.
