mhh and some "changes for the sake of the change" are showing that
there are things which are working fine and should not be touched
and changed and to say it clear: if things are working perfectly
fine why the hell is "development" needed there to break them
anfd 1 or 2 years ago say "hey, our new perfect things are fixing
problems" BUT nobdy says "fixing problems introduced by change for
the sake of the change"
Versus whining for the sake of whining, about change.
GRUB Legacy is dead. It's not maintained upstream anymore, for something like 6 years.
You can't even get support for it on the GRUB list. GRUB 2 is current. There is no
debate there. Grubby does not work fine with GRUB 2, it creates sloppy menu lists that
eventually break the advanced menu entries, as well as totally departing from any user
customization of /etc/default/grub. I manually run grub2-mkconfig to fix (i.e. remove and
replace) grubby's entries after any update that updates the kernel. I'd rather
this be done automatically, but I understand why that didn't happen for F17.
Since the plan is to move to GRUB2-EFI for F18, I'm hopeful that grubby can be dropped
for configurations using GRUB2 as the boot loader, in F18.
