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 https://freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/BootLoaderSpec/ -- George N. White III
