That's what distributions shipping GRUB2 are using. Fedora is totally
unaware of grub-mkconfig, so I have to rerun it every time I install a
new kernel.
grub-mkconfig won't pick up all filesystems, mounted and unmounted.
Processing unmounted filesystem would require a binary with GRUB
filesystem code linked into it, perhaps grub-fstest or a separate
binary.
And let's not forget about recovery disks. That's where lua would
really shine.
