I'd actually prefer to drop the multiversion mode for the kernel and
instead add the version to the kernel package name.
FWIW in rpm-ostree we go to some lengths to explicitly undo the libdnf default of multiple
versions for the kernel, because the ostree side of things effectively multi-versions all
of userspace as well. We're always creating a new root, so there's no concern
about removing modules from the running kernel (any more than there is a similar concern
for userspace components). An ostree deployment includes a (kernel+initramfs,userspace)
as a pair; two deployments can happen to share a kernel, or not. A bit more info in
