I don't think that once grub2 is production-ready in Fedora that extra
commands'll have to be run when a kernel is installed or uninstalled.

"/etc/default/grub" is meant to be the only grub2 file to edit.
Unfortunately, there aren't enough options available (as we've both
listed earlier in this thread).

Before I gave up on getting everything to be as I wanted, I used to
edit "/etc/default/grub", most of the scripts in "/etc/grub.d", and
"/usr/sbin/grub-mkconfig"... Definitely not pleasant or efficient.
