I just go this for the fourth time in two years and finally decided to follow up.

Some questions:

Won't every Ubuntu user *eventually* hit this? Can we expect them to google around, run random junk in a terminal, and hope things go smoothly after that?

Should the install scripts just be able to uninstall old kernels on its own if it detects there's not enough space? What happens if their current kernel has a critical security vulnerability? Would they just stay vulnerable forever?
