grub2 - in my experience - is picky, very inconsistent, and very complicated. Just look at it's configuration file! Why would I even care? Grub 2 in current opensuse and opensuse factory (mind the list topic!) just works by running yast or one command line utility which does not even require any parameters. That's it. It deals with multiple (3+) hard disks, multiple OS (Linuxes, BSDs, Windows versions) and does its job. When it doesn't, we should discuss bug reports.
We're in feature freeze for the upcoming opensuse and I think it is a bad time for generic discussions on this list... One could get the impression that we do not have viable means to boot opensuse factory by reading the recent rant threads. That's simply not how it is.
However, in all honestly, why don't we just add support for grubby? Nobody stops you from submitting patches.
PLEASE, will people like you stop coming up with these inane and most stupid statements: "Nobody stops you from submitting patches." There are people who are NOT programmers and unable to submit anything other than a comment as a *user* of the openSUSE operating system.
