   Is it? The reason mainstream distros like Ubuntu/Debian or RHEL and other #Linux distros keep the last 3 or 4 kernels is so that you can go back in case there is incompatibility.# FreeBSD also keep at least one old kernel on disk https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/ubuntu-18-04-remove-all-unused-old-kernels/

     @nixCraft This is a potential problem on Arch. I'm keeping an lts installed just in case.

     @nixCraft But those old kernels are wantonly and shamefully using FIFTY WHOLE CENTS worth of disk space! Not even Caligula would be so decadent.
