OK, how do you really update the grub2 config file?

AFAIK/AFAICT grubby doesn't take "/etc/default/grub" into account.

Although it'd probably make more sense, I hope that grubby won't be
modified to run grub2-mkconfig because I prefer grubby menu entries
and because I like the fact that I can edit "/boot/grub2/grub.cfg" and
not have me changed over-written when a new kernel package is
installed.
