A question, I found the following on 
<http://akozumpl.github.io/dnf/cli_vs_yum.html>

"dnf erase kernel deletes all packages called kernel

In Yum, the running kernel is spared. There is no reason to keep this in 
DNF, the user can always specify concrete versions on the command line, 
e.g.:

dnf erase kernel-3.9.4"

So if I issue 'dnf erase kernel' all kernels will be removed, and I have 
no kernel anymore? Is that really a good thing? Should we not spare the 
running kernel? Or is there some rationale behind this that I am missing?
