It seems to me that we should make the boot menu more consistent
somehow. I feel like the simplest solution is just to run grub2-mkconfig
at every kernel update, and stop using grubby for this. Then everything
would look consistent- the "Fedora Linux" boot option would have the
latest kernel and all kernels would always be listed under the
submenu. (As far as I know, this would just be a change to the kernel
specfile, right?).

Fedora's EC2 images require grub-legacy configuration files to boot due to EC2's reliance on pvgrub to boot kernels that reside on virtual machines' disks. As a result, making kernel packages exclusively call grub2-mkconfig when they install would likely result in cloud instances with updated kernels that, unbeknownst to the instances' owners, never run.
