Hi Matthew,

A few questions:

I'm guessing this is equivalent to the protect-packages plugin for Yum?
I would like to know what is the status of not allowing a user to remove
the running kernel with `dnf remove kernel'.  Where can I find that?

Okay, while writing the email I found the release notes.  I guess the
problem is solved :).

I'm a bit unclear on what such a ticket should say.  One's personal
perspective on the issue in contention, or a summary of mailing list
discussions (with all the flames and embers edited out, maybe with
references)?
