Comment:

 Adding clumens for some clarification on anaconda upgrade bootloader
 behavior.

 Nice, the tests look good.

 I'm still unclear on the difference in expected results for the ''Skip
 bootloader'' and the ''update bootloader'' test case.  When a new kernel
 package is installed during the upgrade, it will run grubby (see the
 %script of the kernel rpm) and modify grub.conf.  When we choose ''Skip
 bootloader'', does that mean that anaconda '''will not''' write a new
 bootloader configuration and '''will not''' run grub-install, but
 '''will''' update the existing grub.conf when the new kernel is installed?

 clumens: any thoughts?
