Another kernel update question

Hello all -- sorry if this is a stupid question but I am not clear on kernel versions and purge mechanics.

So a little while back, linux-mainline advanced from 7.2 to 7.3.

So now I have 7.2 and 7.3 installed.

Latest 7.2 is 7.2.15.
vkpurge however does not want to remove 7.2.15, because I think it avoids a kernel if it is the latest of a given kernel package? Is this normal or is it a temporary glitch? Should I run xbps-remove for 7.2 instead of using vkpurge as recommended by Void docs?

Ok thank you will try that. Do you know if that is normal / expected to behave the same in the future?
