please do not, grubby is a stable piece of software over many years and
respects manual changes in the kernel line perfectly on updates and does
NOT TOUCH older kernel entries

"grub2-mkconfig" is bloatware (as grub2 at all) and does
way too much which can and will be broken sooner or later

one nice example F17:
/etc/grub.d/10_linux.save: line 25: /usr/lib/grub/grub-mkconfig_lib: file or directory not found

have fun if something is going wrong by creating the config since "grub2-mkconfig"
is re-creating the whole config file including the older entries
