see how any of it makes an awful lot of sense. If the case is starting
from a single installed kernel, how is increasing the
'installonly_limit' going to change anything? And if dnf didn't want to
remove the kernel that the user was at the time of running (I assume)
`dnf system-upgrade download` using successfully, how exactly would
letting it remove an older(?) kernel have 'led to disaster'? Did you
remove some important earlier context?
Full thread for context:

There's some other oddity involved, where it's trying to install the
*base* (non-updated) kernel from F24 over an updated F23, and then it
says those kernels conflict rather than installing them in parallel.
dnf is supposed to have a protection which prevents it removing the
currently-running kernel. If that's somehow being omitted for system-
upgrade, that's certainly a bug.
That _possibly_ is the case here.
