Thinking about how to test this:
We could have a test config with a custom repo pointing to an older snapshot with an older kernel and pin it in the config. We could do it with an older distro version, something with long term support (RHEL 9.6 probably), so we don't need to change it any time soon.

Yea this sounds like something that should work. I was going to initially maybe not provide a test config for this yet on the other hand if it's straightforward to test maybe we should.

Will need osbuild/blueprint#55 to land first so draft.
