If that's the case then it obviously makes sense to stick with grub 
"legacy" but given it's status who is going to be upstream for this? What I 
fear is a similar situation like we had with rpm where nobody really took 
ownership and vendors carried their own individual patches wich doesn't 
really work well with fedoras "stay close to upstream" mantra.
