There are requests to turn on the multiversion install feature for kernel packages per default:
This change is motivated by several reasons seen by the community:
a) With grub2 the additionaly installed kernels aren't longer visitble by default. b) Having the multiversion feature provided by libzypp is only the first step. The majority of our users will never see it nor will they know how to modify the default. c) The changed default ensures to keel the currently running kernel installed. If we remove it this might cause trouble as the system might try to load a module which is no longer available on disk.
The actual package change log is: Enable multiversion kernel and set multiversion.kernels in /etc/zypp/zypp.conf to keep the latest, latest-1 and the running.
Objections to do this for Factory?
It's ok for openSUSE, but do *not* do this for SLE, as all of those ksym requires don't work with multiversion turned on.
