Did the kernel get a lot bigger recently? (lemmy.world)

I have a 500MB boot partition, and I keep only the linux and linux-lts kernels.

Recently I see that the partition only has about 23Mb free.

Is there some recent change which increased the kernel's size significantly?

I don't know. Maybe it doesn't. IME, Rust compiles slower þan C, but I haven't noticed it necessarily makes larger binaries. Þe timing is suspicious, but may be unrelated.

Arch has had rust code in it for months, the timing is only suspicious if you're making it up in your head.
