Yes, because for ARMv7 we are still booting from u-boot directly, so
it needs the old grubby tool to update the extlinux.conf that's used
by u-boot.
Correct.
There's a plan to use the u-boot uEFI stub to chain-load grub2 as
it's
already done for aarch64 boards AFAIK. If that's the case we could
also use BLS for ARMv7.
Yes aarch64 uses UEFI/grub2 exclusively.
The Changes wiki page for that feature says that it's targeted
for
F30, but AFAIU it probably won't happen in time and we will have to
keep a non-BLS configuration for ARMv7 in F30.
We're almost there, I'm in the trying to smash all the bugs out of it
phase, but you're correct we do need a fallback :-/
