The problem in cases like this, is that we don't really have a choice. GRUB legacy is unmaintained and increasingly lacking in functionality that is in GRUB2. Since we have made a decision to switch to GRUB2, we have to deal with the configuration format provided by upstream. There are only limited number of components where Fedora or Red Hat has a significant influence and can change this. GRUB2 isn't one of them. So we live with the less than ideal choices at the distribution level. Rahu -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
