So I would say yes, but I assume not everyone will be this enthused about changing the snapshots to not include /boot, since we already had a discussion about this a few years back, and I got a big fat nope last time around
If /boot is not included in snapshots, then users will not be able to use snapshots/rollback whenever there is an issue with the kernel, grub, initrd, and such that prevents the user booting
Even worse: you can never do a rollback to an older snapshot if the last update did contain a kernel update. Because if you do a rollback because your Firefox is broken, you would end with a boot kernel which cannot find it's modules anymore... Thorsten
