They’re going to move to forks of Fedora downstreams (as AWS and others
already did).

(this is not an endorsement of any other position in this thread, I
hate all our bootloaders equally, they’ve been a lost cause since
someone decided to hide the bootloader menu in the default install,
making it something that does not exist… till you need it an realize
the state it’s in).
