You seem to think we, the Fedora project, have any sort of sway as to 
how things get written in their various upstreams.  We don't, except for 
very few cases.  Our choices here with grub2 are

A) continue using grub1 and continue working with diminishing resources 
to keep grub1 working in the new environments a boot loader will be 
needed in.

B) consume what upstream gives us in the form of grub2.

You seem to be advocating for option C) throw up your hands and yell 
"THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE", and then.... what?
