As we gear up for the upcoming CentOS 7 release, we're tracking a few things for the CentOSPlus kernel as well. One of the proposals (via http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=6828 ) is that we change the current name of the centosplus kernel to be a bit more consistent with other kernel names. The proposed new name would look like 'kernel-plus' or 'kernel-centosplus'. This is in keeping with other kernel names such as 'kernel-ml', 'kernel-xen', 'kernel-lt' etc. And allows for /etc/sysconfig/kernel to be used to set the DEFAULTKERNEL as desired.
This change would only be for CentOS 7.
Thoughts, comments, questions, flames?
Please speak up with support for or against this change.
kernel-plus gets my vote,
it then also makes room in the same namespace for things like kernel-lts or kernel-xen or kernel-cloud and friends. Not that I am saying were going to do any of these, but just in case.
