Correct.

This has been discussed a number of time, but there are no nice and
simple solution. There is a simple solution if we just update the
kernel always, but that's a hack IMO.

While the problem seems rather simple, there are many corner cases
making it hard to solve. It should be solved so people can get this
information, personally I just haven't had the time to work on it.
