yes that's the idea. In practice however, a user doesn't type 'dnf erase -y kernel' by accident and we don't feel the need to protect users who really know what they are doing from doing so. It's the same situation as 'rm -rf /boot' or 'rpm -e --allmatches kernel'. Of course, people are welcome to write specific plugins to achieve something similar to what Yum used to do.


Lots of users think they know what they're doing when in fact they don't and are just trying things out. While I'm against excessive hand-holding in general, removing what might be the only installed kernel is a really bad way to teach them a lesson.
