Looks good, in particular I am glad to see the .kernel group split out
so I can avoid a lot of the (needful but uninteresting to me) stuff
of the "My system won't boot, what do I do now?" sort.

Maybe some discussion about kernel internals can be stirred up, and
not get lost in the volume of other traffic.
