 Just as a heads up, there seem to be a couple of issues with grubby and
 the grub.cfg submenus used for Xen right now. My system still boots
 after triggering any of these but it's usually not running Xen and not
 always running the kernel I want it to be running.

I have seen what I suspect is another one though I haven't investigated 
fully yet to confirm it. I think that if you delete a kernel with a xen 
entry it can remove a submenu opening clause but not the corresponding 
closing } which is bad if you have the xen hypervisor installed in a guest 
as it upsets pygrub.

Yeah, that's 744717. The bug isn't incredibly clear and I didn't do a
very good job of summarizing it. If you look at the before and
after grub.cfg files, you can see it though.

How often would that happen in a guest? I don't think that I have
submenu entries in any of my DomUs.
