I've filed a feature request #305311 to allow multiple kernel installes.
The intention is to always keep at least the current working kernel
installed.  Maybe a sysconfig setting allows to control how many kernels
are kept.  A setting to 0 would make people happy which are used to deal
with the dafault pain since ages.

Would such an option have have saved you time?
