Thanks for letting us know; I suppose it motivates further tweaking of
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/RemoveOldKernels

Please note that there is a method in place (again) to get edit access
to the wikis. I suggest that you apply to join
<https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-wiki-editors> and make the remaining
changing to the page yourself once your application has been approved.
No reason any longer to request changes via the ubuntu-doc list.

Nice! Then you may want to file a wishlist bug against linux-base, and
provide the script as a patch. If you want to discuss it and get
feedback before you do, the ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list is
probably a better choice than this documentation list.
