We have relied on it for *years* now. The new kernel has always been the
default (at least since up2date has existed). I appreciate the enormous
level of skill and involvement you have, but don't you "certainly not
enough to make [it] the default" me on this one!

A change was made, and it was not communicated (or I missed it). Was it
at least consulted among the devel community? Is this a "done deal"?
Because personally, I liked it better the other way. Boot the new kernel
by default, keep the old kernel around for safety.

Cheers,
