Yes, because for ARMv7 we are still booting from u-boot directly, so
it needs the old grubby tool to update the extlinux.conf that's used
by u-boot.

There's a plan to use the u-boot uEFI stub to chain-load grub2 as it's
already done for aarch64 boards AFAIK. If that's the case we could
also use BLS for ARMv7.

The Changes wiki page for that feature says that it's targeted for
F30, but AFAIU it probably won't happen in time and we will have to
keep a non-BLS configuration for ARMv7 in F30.

Correct. Although I would just say upgrades from F29 to F30. Or can
you skip a release when doing a system upgrade?

Yes, I'm not that familiar with how the install media is created and
its boot configuration. But I think that BLS makes less sense there
since the menu entries will always be a static configuration anyways.
