Native ability to specify image kernel variant
Metadata
Current evaluation
Feature request for native kernel variant selection with automatic purging of other kernels. Maintainer acknowledged (Mar 2026) that kernels are only included when user specifies them, but investigation needed into which cases pull in unexpected kernels. No implementation yet.
Suggested action: keep open
Reason: Maintainer @lengau acknowledged the issue on 2026-03-27, stating 'we don't provide a kernel without the user specifying one' but 'we'll need to figure out what cases are including unexpected kernels.' The issue is labeled Type: Enhancement, triaged, and represents a valid gap for cloud image builders. No implementation or further investigation has occurred since, but the problem is still relevant and actionable.
