I think I didn't make it clear enough: My laptop was on the power during the update process, when the power randomly cut out - for the first time in about 6 years, it doesn't happen often. Of course you can interpret it as user error - but I think it's reasonable to update my system when plugged into, normally reliable power. The laptop battery is pretty much dead, so it would've shut itself down automatically anyway.

Just about any Linux I've ever used keeps the previous kernel version and initrd around. And nowadays snapper makes a new snapshot before and after every package installation or update.
