No, I don't think I'm only keeping 2 kernels. I'm keeping 2 old
kernels. There's also the current kernel and the rescue.
Sorry, I misinterpreted it. You're keeping 2 *old* kernels and I read
it as keeping 2 kernels *total*. If you change the installonly_limit=3
to 2 in /etc/dnf/dnf.conf then it will only keep 1 old kernel automatically.
