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.
