I came across kexec(8) and wondered if anyone has used it in Fedora to enable rapid rebooting after a kernel update. Just curious.
I used it quite often in RHEL to kick off a zero-touch anaconda (re)install from a booted workstation. I had a script drop off important parsable data in the EFI partition and the kickstart %pre would read it in to handle the zero touch.
These were dual boot so it was mostly to avoid dealing with the windows install.
