I personally do:
cp -R /boot/kernel /boot/kernel.good
If the kernel has provided stability for 30 days. For your case, you
may want to do:
cp -R /boot/kernel.old /boot/kernel.good
since the kernel.old is last known good kernel. Of course kernel.save
is a good name. For a STABLE branch you generally won't need to fear
that loader changes can prevent you from being able to boot from older
kernels. Therefore, I think the procedure you have listed is enough to
do.
Cheers,
