Yeah, I dislike that as well. If I want paged output, I'll page it; if
I want cut output, I'll cut it. The "helpful" options added to the
$PAGER variable are really stupid as well; I have to set $SYSTEMD_PAGER
as well as $PAGER, just to override systemd's "help".
agreed
but realize the lernel is a very special package
following your argumentation it would be handeled as any other
apckage and you would have not way to boot the old one if
boot fails after a update

I didn't know that was there (not in the habit of running "rm -rf /"
just to see what happens). I really can't think of a situation where
"rm -rf /" would be useful, so I don't really care one way or the other
about that one
where it would be useful?
nowhere - press enter by accident while typing a command
where would it be useful to uninstall base-package and YUM/DNF itself
bringing your system in a non-recoverable state?
