You're wrong there. All grub2-mkconfig does is update the config
file, it's nothing like lilo. If you use symlinks, you don't have to run
anything, just like with GRUB 0.
I used to have a script to do the make/make install and add all kernels
to the GRUB menu, now the latter part is handled more cleanly by
grub2-mkconfig, without my giving up any controls of how or where the
entries are added.
Of course, you could hex-edit the MBR if you wanted real control, why
trust a text editor to get it right? :-)
