Have you ever actually needed to go back to something earlier than the
kernel you were running when the update picked up the next one?
Yes, I have. Sometimes, the support modules for the new kernel are net
yet available, and if I'm testing the previously new kernel, and it
fails for me after installing the newest one, I need to go back to the
previous one which actually worked.
