Hi Jacco.
Happy Holidays :)
I haven't tried, but can /boot/kernel.img (or /boot/kernel7.img) be a symlink?
Can the bootloader handle this, if so, removing the kernel would be a cleaner
process - just redirecting the symlink to another kernel.
Or why don't just use the upstream pre/post scripts in the RPM ?

Haha, a discrete kick I my b*** to get my koji project going :P(on that note -
I'm still struggling with getting sigul working correct - its so so so
undocumented) ofc I prefer mock as well. The script was sort of a shout-out to
the community until somebody (cough* you Jacco) will make a repo available with
regular builds - could easily be done with a GitHub-githook (should I make
one?).
