This assumes nothing can go wrong after the login manager is started (for
example, the login manager hitting a selinux denial when it tries to use
new features exposed by the new kernel), and that the system is able to
detect a running, but useless login manager (input or gfx broken by new
kernel)

Did anyone check the X guys were ok with a setup where they had no longer
any room for error? They heavily depend on users being able to boot on the
previous kernel when there is a driver problem.
