how you write your emails.

the problem with that thread is that you discount anything because you refuse trying to understand that it is a *very* bad idea to touch *all* boot entries after a kernel install

Anyway, I filed an RFE: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1287854

and i answered why it is a bad idea there

"regenerating config instead of incrementally" leads in change *intentional* differences of options when someone tries to debug kernel problems and much more worse: a bug there would render *all* boot options unbootable instead only the last installed one

frankly one can even raise "installonly_limit" by intention and have the same kernel version with *multiple* options - that all would be erased by try out if a newer build fixes the problem

now you can say: that's not a problem for the ordinary user
i say: the ordianry user don't touch kernel options at all
