While I didn't originally omit it intentionally, let's make that 
intentional now - that file isn't used by OSTree installs at least.

/etc/sysconfig/kernel is part of the hacky bridging between the package 
world and the kernel world.  But in OSTree, they are bound together.  
You can't install (or remove) a kernel package as an individual 
operation.  To make any change, you have to create a new tree (with 
e.g. a different kernel), and then OSTree takes care of atomically 
updating your bootloader configuration.
