I use systemd-boot, so I try to avoid having unneeded GRUB packages

I already have install_weak_deps=False set in dnf.conf.
Anyone have any idea why DNF is installing these packages?
Try dnf remove package and see what dnf wants to remove.
Just answer no so that dns does no damage.
That’s the trick I used to find out why a package is needed.
You can also do rpm queries, but I do recall the incantation.
That's the mystery. 'dnf remove' happily removes them (which is what I
want), so it appears that *nothing* requires these packages, so why is
'dnf update' installing them?
