But it is the package manager for the distro. More importantly, it's not
really about yum. *Any* package manager which respects what the packages say
("grub2 obsoletes grub") will do the same.

And then the next time you do a general package upgrade, presto, you've got
grub2 again. This is a kludge, basically, akin to installing firefox-12.0-1
from the F17 release tree even though firefox-17.0 is F17 updates.

Really???
And sure, you can build grub from source. But we're getting pretty far off
from being actually _Fedora_.
