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?
Sure.
Fixing bootloader configuration would be another step that will allow to boot that fallback kernel.
Boot was dependable as death in many SUSE versions, until someone started to play with it few years ago.
Now I check /boot and /boot/grub/menu.lst after every kernel update and before reboot, to make sure that it will boot again, and also to cleanup menu.lst from redundant entries and lengthy names that is not easy to read.
perl-Bootloader support installation of another kernel (you can easy try it with rpm -i). Code must be changed because everything changing like new hardware, new type of kernel or new features (perl-Bootloader handle kernel change but also backend for yast-bootloader) Checking after every kernel update is smart and if you see any problem please fill bug report (I smash almost all reported bugs, so all problems I know I try fix it).
