I don't have the technical expertise in this area to comment on the details of the
implementation, but from a dumb user point of view, could there be a simple or no-payload
package that says "Fedora owns the bootloader" that's installed by default
and power users that wish to maintain it themselves (or use other bootloaders) and remove
the package?
I like this idea. Would bootloader projects be willing to use a single
canonical location and format for this indication? On the other hand,
if I don't want to use the Fedora GRUB bootloader, why do I have that
package still installed? If I were using the Ubuntu bootloader, or
systemd-boot, I would uninstall all the GRUB stuff to ensure it's not
being used, accidentally or otherwise.
Nevertheless, I'm OK with the idea that BIOS GRUB not be automatically
reinstalled everytime there's a package update, but rather postpone it
for major Fedora upgrades.
