The retention of the latest & running kernel, is in 12.1 Factory already, to those using "multiversion kernel" setting.
I'm so old and lame ... ;)
So this is feasible and the time to discuss such change, is before the release freezes ie now, not a "wouldn't it be nice" at RC1.
Branch the libzypp package, modify the default zypp.conf to enable the line multiversion = provides:multiversion(kernel) submit request your change back. If you need more guidance don't hesitate to talk to me at freenode.
To make updates safer for all, commenting in the "multiversion" line is all that's required. How will that actually happen without a Feature Change request?
I would try to save this extra work. We'll see if the suggested approach works or fails. :) It's welcome if you quote the submit request ID here. Lars -- Lars Müller [ˈlaː(r)z ˈmʏlɐ] Samba Team SUSE Linux, Maxfeldstraße 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany
