The problem is that grub2-efi-modules no longer exists after all the
changes to grub2 in f27, but none of the new packages provides or
obsoletes grub2-efi-modules .

When you see an error like this - where it's complaining about packages
from f26 when upgrading to f27 - the mentioned packages themselves are
not the problem. What you need to ask is "why are grub2 and grub2-tools 
not being updated to f27 versions?" And in this case the answer is
"because the old grub2-efi-modules requires grub2-tools of a matching
version, and nothing is causing the old grub2-efi-modules package to be
removed because nothing obsoletes or provides grub2-efi-modules , so
dnf is trying to keep it around, and that's why it wants to keep the
old grub2 and grub2-tools".

One of the other bug reports you closed is actually a different bug of
a similar type: nothing obsoletes/provides grub2-efi on i686.

I have cleaned up and consolidated the bug reports and poked pjones
about them. Thanks.
