Automatic Old Kernel Removal Mechanism
Currently when tracking a development release, many new kernel packages are introduced. While the old ones remain installed on the system. This can often fill up a limited /boot file system and cause troubles in installing new ones, and else clutter the the boot menu. While usually when the new kernel has been installed successfuly the old kernels can be purged, they often remain installed, taking up space and will require manual intervention to be removed. This specification introduces a feature goal to make this process automatic and possibly add some reporting capabilities , to later on create statistics.

Whiteboard
dsilvers: punted back to drafting with a few comments. Since you haven't unticked "needs further discussion" I assume you have more to talk about and flesh out before punting this back for more review. Okay so far, needs more implementation information in general though.
