BLS seems to be tied to UEFI, so the old grub config will last as long
as distros still boot with BIOS.   Other distributions do use BLS:
debian testing
<https://manpages.debian.org/testing/systemd/systemd-boot.7.en.html>, ubuntu
focal fossa (20.04)
<http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/focal/man7/systemd-boot.7.html>

https://systemd.io/BOOT_LOADER_SPECIFICATION/ wants to infest not
only linux, but other open-source operating systems.   It seems one of the
main reasons for BLS is to avoid conflicts in /boot when two different
linux
distros are installed.

The specification lives at
