That is older apt, and apt from FreshRPMS and other paackagers.
What? Where did you pick that one up? ATrpms is deploying apt 0.5.15cnc5 for quite many repos (and all RH dists for RH7.3 to FC1 BTW), is obviously the latest and still does not upgrade kernels by default, which is a matter of policy, neither bug, nor feature. Personally I am fine with forcing the user to chose a kernel, since this is probably the perfect example of not using plain stupid EVR upgrade paths.
Again you automatically assume I am poking at you. Notice how I say older AND apt from other packagers. older was meant to mean older fedora.us apt versions.
apt from fedora.us (soon to be published for Legacy too) is totally not made to be used for automated upgrades like some people currently use yum. As a result, our apt is set to offer to upgrade to the latest kernel if it is available.
You mean apt from fedora.us will require interactive sessions? I don't believe Panu would permit castrating his work like that ;)
Panu is exactly the one that setup the defaults this way. Nothing stops the user from changing those defaults and making it auto-upgrade capable though...
