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 think the initramfs has gotten a lot bigger over the last couple of years. More modules included, more functionality.
