and why are there so many noobs with questions like "after a kernel
update my machine does no longer boot" if this decision would
be smart?

it si idiotic having a fallback after kernel updates and hide it
from the users - what do you think how many do not know this, have
no other computer to post any question because no longer inernet
access resulting in delete the whole linux-os and how many of them
never install it again after "killed with standard update"
