I'm assuming they will switch to another loader. Tivoising grub2 would

This would be the canary in the coal mine, to see if I was on the right track, yesterday.

If, all of a sudden, another bootloader gets pushed into Fedora, only a year or so after all the headache and pain of migrating from grub 1 to grub 2, then this will validate our collective take on the subject.
