I have just setup a nice stand alone grub2 partition
I've been installing Fedora sans bootloader ever since Grub Legacy was dropped from installation media.
... but the way anaconda works (as near as I can tell, anyway) it will trash my stand-alone grub2 when I install a new fedora version.
If it's truly stand-alone, it shouldn't be mounted to /boot after it's been initialized. In such a scenario, there's no reason for it to get touched by any upgrade process. Once you have such a partition functional, short of a previously unsupported filesystem type from which kernels need to be loaded, there's no reason to upgrade it. If you symlink kernels and initrds to static names, it doesn't need maintenance either unless to add additional systems to boot or you rearrange partitioning.
