Fedora, officially, supports Grubby. There was a different thread saying
"This is silly, why are we sticking with grubby?" and what I got out of
that thread was: there's some use case that grub2-mkconfig doesnt support,
but that grubby does, and Fedora wants to support that use case. Frankly,
the fact that you had the say phrase: "users are asking for trouble by
using upstream-supported tools", just screams "clusterf***" to me as an
end-user. I can't tell you -who- is holding said cluster, whether its
upstream or downstream, but it needs to get sorted-- especially given the
emphasis the Fedora places upon staying as close to upstream as possible.
