Looks great. We can get fancy and verify preupgrade handling at each of
the different disk space checks. And that might be something useful we
do if we host a pre-upgrade test day. But for the common case, and the
issue that surfaced near the end of F-12, I think you've captured it
nicely.
Thanks,

Thank you, James. Then I'll finish the review of this test case, and
create new cases for different disk space checks in /boot for a test day
later.
Cheers,
Hurry
