I've had the same problem. But using grub2 there is no need to use rEFIt
in a single boot environment.

The EFI image is static but that shouldn't be a problem. You might want to replace it when updating grub.
The last 6 or 7 kernel updates (fedora) didn't cause any problems for
me. Linking the /etc/grub2-efi.cfg to /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/grub.cfg is the
important point here.
