there is no reason ever for something which being updated automatically
to have multiple versions unless they can be used simultaneously. the
only exception is old backup kernel in case of critical regression in
the new one since kernel is core of everything, that's it.

most of people do not know what kernel is and do not want to know (hell,
i can swear some even want to punch me then i trying to explain them for
several minutes) and it pretty understandable (even though i strongly
believe such things should be explained at schools), so _no amount of
fancy GUI pop-ups will help_.

if someone wants to have some specific version of kernel when they will
install it specifically. automatic updates should not bother with this
but they should not clog up boot menu either and no user interaction
must be required, i insist.

cleaning up something else while interacting with user when disk space
is scarce is a good idea though.
