Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because
the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
Description of problem:
The current boom-boot package for RHEL8 (boom-boot-1.1-2.el8) contains two built-in OsProfile definitions for RHEL8:
# boom profile list
OsID Name OsVersion
f44fb52 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.1 (Ootpa)
1ba0043 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.2 (Ootpa)
These are generated from the respective /etc/os-release files for the corresponding release.
There's no real need to do this unless a user is actually dealing with multiple minor versions in parallel AND needs to specify different options or other template values for the two releases.
We support the ability to have differentiated profiles for advanced use cases where this may be needed but for most users this is an unnecessary distraction and may lead to confusion (for example when making edits to a profile).
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
boom-1.1-2.el8
How reproducible:
100%
Steps to Reproduce:
1. boom profile list
Actual results:
OsID Name OsVersion
f44fb52 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.1 (Ootpa)
1ba0043 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.2 (Ootpa)
Expected results:
OsID Name OsVersion
4abe4f7 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 (Ootpa)

Not sure about the presence of rhel7 and Fedora profiles, was this intended?

Yes, that's expected: boom is designed for shared /boot volume (see the BootLoader Spec for more details: https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/BootLoaderSpec/).
Users can manage the boot entries for different installed operating systems using any installed instance of boom: we provide some additional profiles as examples and for users with upgrade (e.g. RHEL7-8 with Leapp/boom) use cases.
Since the problem described in this bug report should be
resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a
