We really need to use the boot loader spec by default. Is there any
reason why the support for it was added to grub, but not enabled ?
The full spec is incompatible with standard practices for the EFI system
partition, and especially incompatible with the way we handle Mac
hardware, so adoption is unlikely. The boot fragments are more
attractive, but don't currently let us express the full set of
configuration that we support (there's no way to specify chainloading
another bootloader, for instance). These seem fixable, but nobody's
currently fixing them.
