You are contradicting yourself by first unconditionally approving making
the change in trixie, but later trying to make this conditional on grub
making a new upstream release around the same time as Bookworm.
We can only control what is in Debian releases, we cannot be waiting
for godot^Wgrub making a new release before making a change in Debian.
The best default assumption when discussing whether the change should be
made in bookworm or trixie is that there will be no new grub release
during the next 2 years - it's only 2 years since the latest release
and there was even a 5 year gap between 2.00 and 2.02.
