Grub is the systemd of bootloaders. It's all about pretty colors, nice
images, and hiding the fact that processes are being instantiated.

What's so sad is that grub 1 was wonderful. One file, everything was
easy and obvious. Grub2 has different but similar executables, and you
go traipsing all over a tree of numbered files to change every little
thing, or else unauthorizedly change the already compiled version and
hope nothing overrides it.
