yeah, I have to admit I get the feeling we're kind of swimming against
the tide, now. I'm not sure it would be so terrible to just decide to go
with the upstream design, run grub2-mkconfig any time grub2.cfg needs
updating, and tell people to do customization in the /etc/grub.d stuff
as upstream intends.

The whole point of going with grub2 was to get closer to upstream and
reduce our maintenance burden, right? grubby feels like a substantial
chunk of maintenance burden too.
