Actually, I'm not. I have never said that I reject the introduction of that change. But I reject it in the current situation, and I reject the way it is handled. And if you read the whole report and the discussion I was involved in, then maybe you can understand that I perceive it that both, Steve and Theodore, were very well with the idea of breaking with Bullseye and Ubuntu and other systems, where grub doesn't support that feature, right now and "just like that". And I think this is a violation of #4. I have also written in [1] how I think the transition should be handled (IMO), especially given the fact that grub has no upstream release with a fix yet.
