[rawhide] kernel-install and grubby and ... what's going on?

It looks like the venerable calls to new-kernel-pkg (from grubby) have been
replaced by kernel-install, which checks if /sbin/new-kernel-pkg exists and
runs that if it does, and otherwise does this stuff
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/BootLoaderSpec/.

I'm trying to update the cloud kickstart files for F20 (now that F19 is in
the can, right?), and am trying to understand what the plan and migration
path is here. I can't find a feature page for this.

Right now, immediately, the result is no initramfs being created under
appliace-creator. (We're hoping to move _away_ from appliance-creator for
this release, but one step at a time.) I went ahead and added grubby to the
kickstart package manifest, but I'm not sure if that's the right thing.

How is this _supposed_ to be working?
