In that case, would it be possible (or at least, a better idea) to modify *grubby* to call grub2-mkconfig when the bootloader is grub2? Then we'd still have all the other abstractions for other bootloaders but new kernel entries would be added in a way that respects the configurations in /etc/default/grub and /etc/grub.d. Ben
