"""Tool to Purge Unused Kernels
Removes those kernel packages marked as candidate for autoremoval.
Those packages are generally installed via Unattended upgrade or meta-packages
By default the latest kernel and manual installations are marked to Never
Auto Remove.
Ubuntu has multiple suggestions on how to remove kernels:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RemoveOldKernels
A great recommendation is to make use of unattended-upgrades (u-u). Since
version 1.0 u-u is capable of removing unused kernel packages.
thresher - A device that first separates the head of a stalk of grain from
the straw, and then further separates the kernel from the rest of the head.
