Description Piergiorgio Sartor 2021-06-24 16:20:23 UTC 
Description of problem:
There are use cases where is not wished to update the file /boot/grub2/grubenv with the boot successful information.
Specifically, when the "boot_counter" and "menu_auto_hide" variable are not set there should be no reasons for updating /boot/grub2/grubenv.
There could be situations where /boot resides on fragile storage, like SD cards, and the user might want to minimize writes.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.06-2

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
Remove the variables above mentioned
2.
Reboot
3.
Check /boot/grub2/grubenv

Actual results:
The file /boot/grub2/grubenv is changed

Expected results:
Should not be changed
