Comment (by clumens):
> I'm still unclear on the difference in expected results for the ''Skip
bootloader'' and the ''update bootloader'' test case. When a new kernel
package is installed during the upgrade, it will run grubby (see the
%script of the kernel rpm) and modify grub.conf. When we choose ''Skip
bootloader'', does that mean that anaconda '''will not''' write a new
bootloader configuration and '''will not''' run grub-install, but
'''will''' update the existing grub.conf when the new kernel is installed?

Regardless of what option you pick on the bootloader UI, the kernel's
%post scriptlet will still get run. So you can't help but get grub-
install run and grub.conf changed.
If you select "Skip bootloader", you won't get the screen that allows you
to setup how the bootloader should be configured, anaconda won't write out
a bootloader configuration for you, and it will not run whatever program
installs the bootloader for your platform. You will, however, still get
whatever happens when the kernel's %post script runs.
Does that clear things up a bit?
