Please STOP giving this advice to people!

Running out of space on the ESP may cause a lot of hassle
later. *Right now*, GRUB is small. But things do grow over time. Also,
if anybody wants to install an extra OS, or use fwupd to install
firmware updates (for example), saving a small amount of disk space
here could cause a massive PITA later.
