Fedora's EC2 images require grub-legacy configuration files to boot due 
to EC2's reliance on pvgrub to boot kernels that reside on virtual 
machines' disks.  As a result, making kernel packages exclusively call 
grub2-mkconfig when they install would likely result in cloud instances 
with updated kernels that, unbeknownst to the instances' owners, never run.
