What's the rationale for that? The idea of the boot loader spec is that multiple OSes or OS versions on the same medium won't fight for the boot loader and instead can drop-in their own boot entries easily in a non-conflicting way and make them available in the same boot menu that way. The strict idea is that *sharing* a drop-in dir is a good thing, and that exclusive ownership of the boot loader is a major problem. By using a fedora specific directory for the drop-ins you defeat the whole idea of the boot loader spec, as then suddenly the boot loaders will conflict again, because they can't share the directory anymore. What's going on? What is this? Why is this called "Boot loader spec" if it implements an entirely different logic, and misses the entire point of the boot loader spec? Quite frankly, I am really surprised by this and this makes me wonder what the whole point of this feature is at all, and very sure we shouldn't have it like this.
