On systems with legacy operating systems installed Fedora does not touch the 
partition table at all. On all other systems GPT is the way to go I'd say...

Are those commands included in the upstream Grub 2 tarball? In this case you 
should file a bug to get them included in the Fedora package I think. If not, 
you have a perfect example why people should improve software by working 
upstream.

btw, I just installed F16 on an EFI machine and got Grub Legacy. Are there any 
major problems with Grub 2's EFI support?
