I think fedora would survive this abuse. It doesn't replace when you install kernels, but instead adds it.

Also Fedora ships 3 kernels by default. If one breaks, maybe the others will keep working.

With Manjaro you choose how much kernels you want.

Arch let's you install kernels till /boot is full...

Yes. I have it set up this way. I forgot it wasn't the default. For the amount of headache it would solve, I wonder if the Arch team has a specific reason for not keeping a number of previous kernels by default.

Ubuntu (and probably Debian too) will keep an old kernel in your grub list so you can boot off that one if needed.
