Fedora, officially, supports Grubby. There was a different thread saying "This is silly, why are we sticking with grubby?" and what I got out of that thread was: there's some use case that grub2-mkconfig doesnt support, but that grubby does, and Fedora wants to support that use case. Frankly, the fact that you had the say phrase: "users are asking for trouble by using upstream-supported tools", just screams "clusterf***" to me as an end-user. I can't tell you -who- is holding said cluster, whether its upstream or downstream, but it needs to get sorted-- especially given the emphasis the Fedora places upon staying as close to upstream as possible.

Sure, but do we support grub2-mkconfig?
If yes, why don't we use it for real. If no, then users are asking
for trouble by using upstream-supported tools.
