100% agreement.  As much as I hate Apple, they got some of the boot
loader right.  Grub2 should follow their lead: build up (most of) the
grub.cfg at boot time by probing the various drives.

So all that remains is a way to configure the appearance you want,
to specify the rules used to find boot targets (the rules
currently embedded in update-grub and os-prober), and to specify the
boot arguments.
