The following wording might be a little more neutral; i found when
reading the original version (until i reached the end that is) it
seemed as if the flag was being removed rather than just not being
default-enabled anymore.

-

The multislot use flag in sys-boot/grub-2.x, which had been enabled by
default, is now off by default.

When the flag is enabled, all upstream binaries and documentation are
renamed to "grub2" so as not to collide with grub-0.  Now that the use
flag is no longer default-enabled, these names will revert back to
their upstream defaults.  For example, grub2-mkconfig will become
grub-mkconfig, grub2-install will become grub-install, etc.

If you wish to retain the previous naming scheme please make sure to
explicitly enable USE="multislot" on sys-boot/grub in the usual manner.

Title: Grub2 multislot use flag is being disabled

The multislot use flag in sys-boot/grub-2.x, which has been enabled by
default, is being disabled.

This means that, for all new systems, and for anyonewho doesn't take
action, all of the binaries and documentation in grub-2 that have grub2
at the start of their names will be renamed to just grub to match
upstream defaults. For example, grub2-mkconfig will become
grub-mkconfig, grub2-install will become grub-install, etc.

If you do not want this to happen on your system, add the following line
to /etc/portage/package.use.

sys-boot/grub multislot
