whether grubby is still a path we want to walk?
Well, the bootloader spec has a lot of things missing that we
expect/want to support. Like multibooting, BIOS boot chainloading
booting, etc.
Matthew Garrett started working on proposed changes to the spec:

but the owners of the spec didn't seem to interested in those cases and
Matthew went on to other work.
So, I think we would need to get buyin to get our changes into the spec
and get everyone to agree on it before we would want to move to it.
