I am a bit stumbled: I always thought that it is a good idea to install 
a feature before configuring it ... Following Fedora's Grub2 
documentation, I did it this way for quite a long time whenever I needed 
to update my grub configuration:
"The configuration format has evolved over time, and a new configuration 
file might be slightly incompatible with the old bootloader. It is thus 
often/always a good idea to run grub2-install before grub2-mkconfig for 
some reason is run."
But, I admit, in most situations the order of the two command may not 
matter.
