My impression (from the grub mailing lists) is that editing grub.cfg is
not such a big deal. The guys who make a noise about it are the distro
guys not the grub guys.
Of course if you dont know how to use an editor and/or the
command-line looks like incomprehensible gobbledy-gook... you better listen
to the distro folks!
Heres my question to the grub list:
