Description:
Leo Sandoval and Marta Lewandowska have put forward a change
proposal for Fedora45, which is expected in October, to
provide a separate, slimmed-down version of GRUB for a niche use
case. The new package would be in addition to the main GRUB package
and would not replace it for the majority of Fedora users. The idea
met with some resistance from Fedora contributors who thought that it
would be better to use systemd-boot ,
or another modern bootloader, rather than trying to wrangle GRUB into
a suitable state for the use case. The Fedora Engineering Steering
Council (FESCo), however, voted
to accept the change on July7.
