IMHO, this can only be considered in if /sbin/installkernel (or whatever 
replaces it) ensures that on the first kernel update, an entry for the 
original kernel is retained. Otherwise, automatic kernel update plus 
unintentional reboot (ie power failure) = unhappy user/administrator (as 
would happen at present).
