Anything I am missing?
Make sure to preserve the ABI '/boot/vmlinuz' and '/boot/initrd', both represent the "last installed kernel".
But what relevant program uses these symlinks to do anything?
That's very hard to know, every piece of private setup or scripts might be hit by such a change, and that's the problem of this kind of change which is hard to get through...
IMHO an important point is that such fallout still could be justified if the change fixed an actual problem affecting users or improved the distribution for users in a significant way. I don't see either in the reasoning (for the rename) provided so far. Even worse, I see people seriously suggesting that breaking the system for _real_ people using newer kernel on older systems in the name of formal correctness of the file name is perfectly fine. Personally, I find such attitude rather alarming. (Fun fact: at one point, there was a plan to present and profile openSUSE as the best distribution for developers.)
