--- Comment #8 from Fabian Vogt
Anyway, it's a question about how big you want the changes to get.
Autodetection with LOADER_TYPE=auto (or whatever) needs to be synced with a number of people. As it is now I would guess quite some people have both bootloaders installed while using only one of them. So autodetection might imply some surprises.
At least "grub2-auto" (not full "auto") would just select between i386-pc and efi depending on how the system is currently booted. Neither installing i386-pc on an EFI system nor installing x86_64-efi on a legacy system would have the desired result without manual work in addition anyway, so I can't imagine a case where this would be a step backwards.
Adding some switch to plb would be more limited.
Yes, but also wouldn't work OOTB as those would have to be added to every caller of update-bootloader IIUC. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
