first of all, I do *not* speak for the design team, just stating my
opinion.

The intended design is probably best what we can have but,
 * Given the fedora target audience, it's not uncommon to have multiple
   fedoras installed, so it would be good if the items looked like
   Fedora $REL_VER$ $REL_NAME$ (or without the release name).
 * All kernels should be in subdirectory. That the current kernel
   updates break the intended setup (as set-up in /etc) is obviously
   incorrect and should be fixed. Both ways (submenus or direct menu)
   are better than current state of things.
 * I do not seem to see any theme, even though there's obviously the
   beefy-miracle one installed. It's probably missing in configs
   (/etc/grub.d/) though -- my issue, or a general one?

Cheers,
Martin
