Hello,

Many other distros make the assumption that there's only one bootloader - which is sometimes good because you can have another bootloader the distribution doesn't know about (in addition to the one the distribution does know about) that supervises all the others.

I’d be in favor of sticking with the only-one-bootloader assumption.

Maybe we can revisit that later if there’s a need, but for now it seems
much safer to just stick to that (and not block this patch set.)

Thoughts?

Thanks,
