[Bug 1779723] Re: [Wishlist] Add a GUI option autoremove kernel cleanup on updates

[Julian Andres Klode]

It is my understanding that automatic kernel removal has been added in
update-manager. They are also removed automatically in unattended-
upgrades. There should be a maximum of 3 kernel versions left, in order
to recover if a new kernel fails.

** Changed in: update-manager (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Incomplete
