I think that thread identified use cases that are *not* supported by grubby but that are supported by grub2-mkconfig (e.g. some btrfs setup) and that Fedora's resolution is to declare those configurations unsupported in general. > 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. I agree. I think Fedora should use Grub the way that the Grub developers thing Grub should be used, and that is to use grub2-mkconfig to propagate configuration (/etc/grub.d, etc) and kernel changes into the grub config. --Andy > > On Fri, Dec 18, 2015 at 5:07 PM, Andrew Lutomirski <luto@xxxxxxx> wrote: >> >> On Fri, Dec 18, 2015 at 1:01 PM, Eric Griffith <egriffith92@xxxxxxxxx> >> wrote: >> > Grub2-mkconfig works fine on F23.
