The problem in cases like this, is that we don't really have a choice.
GRUB legacy is unmaintained and increasingly lacking in functionality
that is in GRUB2.  Since we have made a decision to switch to GRUB2, we
have to deal with the configuration format provided by upstream.  There
are only limited number of components where Fedora or Red Hat has a
significant influence and can change this.  GRUB2 isn't one of them. So
we live with the less than ideal choices at the distribution level.
