One of the easier ways to remove old kernels is with a script that retains the latest kernel. The script below works whenever Fedora updates a kernel, and does not depend upon a system upgrade.

Several questions have been asked by users on the mailing list related to the steps in dnf-system-upgrade. This commit tries to address those comments and questions. For example, doe GRUB need to be installed on a system that uses UEFI. While it is evident to {some|most} people, some folks need to be explicitly told UEFI does not need GRUB reinstalled. Another example is a user did not perform optional post-upgrade tasks. Some optional post-upgrade tasks, like cleaning old symlinks, should be performed.
