It will require a lot of documentation updates (wiki, handbook etc) so I |
| 16 |
wonder if you don't need symlinks for the grub2* names for a while even |
| 17 |
so to ensure compatibility for a deprecation period. New users aren't |
| 18 |
expected to have seen all the news items, so that alone isn't enough |
| 19 |
until the documentation is updated, and docs can't be updated until the |
| 20 |
change has happened itself as itself would be a mismatch. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
What is the expected gain from such a change? |
