Until, after some update, it reminds you of its presence by not booting
your machine. That's the sort of excitement I can do without.
Precisely. And, it is my understanding (correct me if I'm wrong), that
simply keeping your old kernel/initramfs around is NOT a guarantee (it
might work - and it might NOT) of being able to fallback to a known
working config until you figure it out.
THAT, in a nutshell, is why my intention is to NEVER let one of those
things on my systems.
