Yes, thats exactly the use case: I always have multiple linux installations

individual kernel and grub updates, I always install a second GRUB into the
root parition of the specific linux installation. In MBR I have a master GRUB
to select the linux system (partition) to chainload the second GRUB of that
distribution. For this use case I need GRUB to be installed into ext4 of the
root partition of that linux system.
Alternatively, the primary GRUB can load a secondary GRUB core image file
/boot/grub/i386-pc/core.img with the "multiboot" command to avoid relying on
block lists.
Yes, there are many ways to chainload a second GRUB. As fs_embed is already
implemented for btrfs I thought it would be good to be available for ext2 as
well. So question is, if this should be done (I am willing to do so) or if
grub-devel is not interested in this. This is why I ask first, before doing the
work. :-)
Thanks. :-)
