in my experience, during upgrades old kernels are always deleted (that
might be a problem if the only installed kernel wouldn't work (that
never happened to me, but it might happen)
I am not a geek, so I do not know if there is any particular reason to
remove all old kernel..

Generally speaking, I find that grub is generally updated
properly...my two cents...
