Description Jens 2021-01-06 13:27:43 UTC

Description of problem:
The description of the grubby RPM tells you that it is only to be used for legacy compatibility users with existing users. As per 

https://fedoramagazine.org/setting-kernel-command-line-arguments-with-fedora-30/

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1725720

it is the official way to change boot options. The wrong description in the RPM might confuse users.

grubby-8.40-47.fc33.x86_64

How reproducible:
always reproducible
