Correct, but that wasn't really what I was getting at. The point I was
attempting to make was that there's no "roll back to previous kernel"
option. It's straight from the "Oh shit" reaction to the "where's my
recovery cd". I always prefer keeping one previous known good kernel.
Either way, telecoms have special needs and if it's tightly controlled
it hopefully won't be an issue.
