Hope so :)

The kernel options are in the BLS entries, so it doesn't matter what
you have in grubenv.

From the grub2 changelog on may 13th:

Store cmdline in BLS snippets instead of using a grubenv variable

The kernel cmdline was stored as a kernelopts variable in the grubenv
file and the BLS snippets used that. But this turned out to be fragile
since the grubenv file could be removed or get corrupted easily.

To prevent the entries to not have a cmdline if the grubenv can't be
read, a fallback variable was set in the GRUB config file. But this
still caused issues since the config needs to be re-generated to change
the parameters.

Instead, let's store the cmdline in the BLS snippets. This will make
the configuration more robust, since it will work even without the
grubenv file and the BLS entries will contain all the information
needed to boot.
