4 seriously, one could have kernels named,
5 without versions, as:
6
7 vmlinuz
8 vmlinuz-older
9 vmlinuz-older2
10 .
11 .
12 .
13 vmlinuz-olderN
14
15 this way, new kernel installation, and rotation,
16 will be decoupled from the boot loader's configs,
17 effectively removing any housekeeping for the
18 boot loader.
