I went ahead and set this as critical, hoping that the corrected grub
will be pushed before Release after some reflection and a brief
discussion in #ubuntu-testing.

<bladernr> indeed, just the context seems to be that it's being pushed to "read 
the release notes and grab an update" and from the perspective of the new user, 
having to immediately sudo grub-update from a CLI (especially if the new user 
has never touched a CLI before) is horrifying.  I do hope this gets pushed 
before tomorrow.
<bladernr> I'd be more accepting of release-notes for this if it were an OS 
targeted to already tech savvy users (e.g. RHEL or SLES environments) but being 
one who teaches a formal "Intro to Linux" class, my students would be lost on 
day one if they went home and tried installing and lost their Windows Installs.

I very strongly believe that this is exactly the sort of situation we
want to avoid, especially on a release that is so targeted at bringing
new users into the fold.
