Probably me making ASSumptions. GRUB recently learned how to play in z land, and the distros have picked that up. There are some advantages.

And compare the dead system to the good system. It's all new to me too. I believe /boot/grub2/grub.cfg gets built using the "helper scripts" found under /etc/grub.d. In any case, the fact that /boot/grub exists suggests that we do want to go the GRUB route and not traditional ZIPL.
