   You have to rembmer I was the first to bring grub2 to fedora last year (as I
am a grub2 maintainer .. though not very active as of late ... see bug 228255).

  While yes you can use grub2 with it's own tools manually, what happens when a
new fedora kernel is installed? It doesn't run those tools to update the grub2
config. 

   My point is this issue is integration into the distribution. The grub2 tools
are not apart of the distribution process and so this is where the issues are.
Making these tools or updating the process to use the tools is what will allow
grub2 to go into fedora.

  You have to stop just thinking about the project, and understand that it is
not just a standalone tool. But must be integrated into the processes that
fedora uses. Which is why there are comments about grubby & booty support.
