I don't want to use grub2-mkconfig. On my simple machines, the grub
config file (for either 0.97 or 2) is trivial and I prefer to maintain
it manually. On my complex machine (about a dozen different distros
installed in as many partitions), grub2-mkconfig invariably guesses
wrong too much of the time. Disabling the os-prober helps a lot, but
it's still way easier to just maintain the config file manually.

I'm not worried about the size, I just don't want any of the
automagical config stuff happening (and would feel safest if it wasn't
even installed).
