In the next commit, we will want to make adjustments based on the RHEL minor version.
Changes in xfsprogs in 9.3 caused XFS partitions have less available space (due to more space reserved for the log section). We discovered that this causes issues with kernel updates. When 3 kernels are already installed and dnf wants to install a new one (and replace the oldest one), /boot must contain 4 kernels for a brief period of time, which doesn't fit on the small partition. This causes the transation test to fail, and dnf refuses to perform such a transaction. There's a workaround: Remove one of the kernels manually using `dnf remove` before running an update. This is however quite surprising and annoying, thus this commits bumps the size of /boot to 600 MiB starting from 9.3 (and on CentOS Stream).
