Of course we won't remove linux-libre and -lts. BTW -hardened is already
in [libre], from the beginning.

But IDK if removing the entire [kernels] repository is necessary,
although I don't discard it as an option. There are some awesome kernels
that I'd like to save, like knock[0] (at least its -lts) and apparmor.
But some others look kind of useless, with a low quantity of downloads,
while we can use the same disk space for better kernels[1]
