Closed the first time because it's not an F20 bug. As mentioned in bug 864198 
it's intended behavior. Also closed because the summary about it not installing 
the boot loader on btrfs doesn't make sense because that's not the problem nor 
how it would work if it did work, and the description has nothing to do with 
the actual problem or getting it fixed. 

I'd always intended to create a clearly described and explicit rawhide RFE 
tracking bug for the issue, and it was impossible to clean up and change your 
bug into that without requiring the reader to read 7 comments that have nothing 
to do with actually progressing the real problems. So that's why I closed it a 
2nd time, after creating the tracker bug, for which there will eventually be 
other bugs it depends on, not just the grubby bug. There are issues with grub2 
and os-prober that also need to be addressed for certain use cases.

The rationale for the change is thoroughly discussed in several blocker 
reviews. It's not some arbitrary change, it was made based on several release 
criteria being violated. Yes it would have been better to fix that old grubby 
bug that was also an F20 blocker for a month. But it's worse to throw razor 
blades at hapless users, excusing it with the suggestion they don't really 
matter when those with secret decoder ring hacks to work around the problem can 
easily do so. You can still use kickstart to make the layout as you wish.

The real issue is that grub-mkconfig isn't confused about /boot being located 
on btrfs subvolumes. Why? It seems a possible answer for grubby's confusion is 
located in grub.
