Description Alexander Todorov 2013-09-09 12:46:15 UTC 
Description of problem:

Well pykickstart/anaconda is missing control over bootloader configuration during upgrade. In GUI there are three options: new, update and skip (which behavior is not quire clear). In kickstart there's only new. 

QE would like to have such feature implemented in order to automate our test cases.
