glebius changed the defaults to fix POLA, but the naming per the behavior is
confusing. Right now the behavior between ^/head and ^/stable/10 before/now
match -- I just had to wrap my mind around the default being the affirmative of
a negative (i.e. only install one kernel, as opposed to install all extra
kernels by default).
