I understand that, but as a matter of follow-up to Andrey's post which was not directly related to GRUB, I thought it was appropriate to point out the unexpected behavior I'm seeing. And btrfs-progs is discussed at linux-btrfs@, not just kernel issues. It's an open question for me, now, whether set-default is really working the way it's supposed to. For all I know it changes things on-disk in a way that also affects GRUB behavior contrary to expectations. So I think it's reasonable to be sure the expectations are properly aligned, and go from there. The regression testing I've done is not close to exhaustive but the behavior I'm seeing in GRUB and in booted linux, are different from behaviors maybe two or three years ago. So the fact both have changed behaviors might be a bug that's in common and worth exploring.
