It's not much but it could help.
Imagine a system that's been kept updated for over 10 years and a new kernel
comes out every month (on average)
You could end up with 120 of these, and then it would be 912MB...
And if you're like me and stick a lot of stuff as modules, then it could be
even more....

That's why I wanted to clarify, not just for me but for others. I'm
gong to look on my old machine when I boot it again. That install is
many years old and I have NEVER deleted anything there. I bet it is
pretty good size by now. Thing is, I only use nvidia as a module myself
but some stuff is forced in as a module. Some SCSI driver.
This is good to know.
