Comment # 7 on bug 947593 from
Josef,

This is an extreme disappointment for the openSUSE community user. In fact, we
worked very hard with Michael Chang over a number of months to add these
features so that the Yast Boot Loader finally evolved. And offered something
the other distros did not offer.

This took a number of years of begging on Bugzilla and email until we found the
right people that understood our requests.

The openSUSE Leap 42.1 distro - which has incorporated the core from SuSE
Enterprise is supposed to be a step up in stability and features. You have
downgraded the Yast Boot Loader.

The upgrade from Grub1 to Grub2 introduced a boot loader that uses scripts.  
In their haste, the developers had forgotten to allow the user to edit and
customize their entries. At least in Grub1 we could edit the "menu.lst" file. 

Many appreciate the ability to customize via the gui so that they can clean up
the entries according to their work environment. The Grub2 scripts hunt down
the entries without regard of the appearance of the entry. Now you want to go
back to this in 2015-2016?

Our entries appears as: 
openSUSE 42.1 Beta 1 (x86_64) (on /dev/sdb1) 

We do not like this. We want it to appear as:
openSUSE 42.1 Beta 1 

or whatever in the final release.

Can you at least offer another Yast Boot Loader with the "Distribution" option
in the Leap 42.1 repository.
