Apart from all the bullshit about cars, which part of "it's part of
upstream grub2" are you people not understanding? This is not our code.
This is how grub2-mkconfig works. We are not going to get into the game
of patching bootloader behaviour downstream again. You don't want grub2
to generate nested menus by default, you can go upstream and argue with
the grub developers. Please keep this crap out of Fedora lists.
