That then makes it impossible for an admin to override any parameter present in 
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX as that takes priority over files in either /etc/kernel.d/ 
or /usr/lib/kernel.d/

In my hubris I imagine that distros would move all static or install-time 
config to /usr/lib/kernel.d/ and GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX would be left just for 
backward compatibility.

If a distro carries this change then the docs telling users how to set their 
own parameters would need updating to mention /etc/kernel.d/ instead of 
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX.

I can switch the order if that's the preferred behaviour, but I feel it 
diminishes the usefulness of the feature.
