What I would like to see is proper support for UEFI multiboot. Right

installing a new Fedora next to the live one is difficult since it doesn't
support creating individual UEFI boot entried for each installation but
only a global one which runs contrary to having this feature in UEFI in the
first place.
I'm bringing this up because in the UEFI multiboot case you don't care for
either the MBR nor a partition bootloader so this use-case should be taken
into account.
Well IMO GRUB2 is less than half-baked for UEFI anyway when it comes to Ux. It works, it
boots, it's grotesquely inelegant and complicated. There should be a distinction
between a boot loader and boot manager, while GRUB2 conflates them into one thing.
A better user experience, by far, for UEFI is rEFInd.efi as the boot manager, and using
efistub (the linux efi bootloader) as the bootloader. But then this lacks, at the moment,
a nice way to deal with btrfs snapshots and optionally boot them (which GRUB2 can do).
