Well, I cannot judge here. From my POV it looks reasonable to do so
because you can then use the same efi file regardless of the boot
method. The override should be added, though. YMMV.
You already can use the same EFI file regardless of the boot method.
SUSE does it without any hacks.
(This brings up one question which somebody might know the answer: the
Centos7 version of grub has 486 patches. I am wondering why these
patches never made it to upstream. Is there simply lack of manpower?
Have these patches never reached upstream? Have they been rejected?)
Do you know anything about this?
It is quite possible that most of these patches are actually upstream
patches.
