Hi, So, in essence I am being told to get away as otherwise I would be ruining my reputation or coding broken code by design.
I will recount what I did when GRUB2 started insisting on using scripts. As I have a multiboot system, I understood immediately that the 'new' GRUB version could become a hassle everytime I upgraded a kernel belonging to some installation among the many I have installed on the same machine. I also wanted to avoid having the grub menu changed every time GRUB was updated. To avoid the above, I did a move similar to what I did with Felker's init. I did away with the new rubbish and installed GRUB2 in a very minimal Debian installation comprising only the base system and a root account. Then, I used update-grub and finally edited /boot/grub/grub.cfg to contain whatever OS menus I wanted. To avoid an overwrite, I did a backup of grub.cfg. After that, whenever I upgrade a kernel of whatever operating system I have installed, it displays the same menu with the same items and with the same description as I want them. This hack has been working reliably since Debian adopted GRUB2 in Stable. In essence, I am here being scolded at NOT to use my potential and that my reasoning is irrational as if I am completely insane. I finish by stating that repeatedly telling a person that their reasoning is flawed without explaining what is wrong is a sign of abuse often emanating from envy.
