The 2 commands follow the mechanics of p-b-t kernel add/remove in writing the desired abi-version to a config-file in /etc/kernel and actually modifying the boot-loader configuration upon p-b-t refresh.
A dedicated new file is used instead of writing the version (with some kind of annotation) to the manual kernel list to keep parsing the file simple (and hopefully also cause fewer problems with manually edited files) For systemd-boot we write the entry into the loader.conf on the ESP(s) instead of relying on the `bootctl set-default` mechanics (bootctl(1)) which write the entry in an EFI-var. This was preferred, because of a few reports of unwriteable EFI-vars on some systems (e.g. DELL servers have a setting preventing writing EFI-vars from the OS). The rationale in `Why not simply rely on the EFI boot menu logic?` from [0] also makes a few points in that direction. For grub the following choices were made: * write the pinned version (or actually the menu-path leading to it) to /etc/default/grub instead of editing the grub.cfg files on the partition. Mostly to divert as little as possible from the grub-workflow I assume people are used to. * the 'root-device-id' part of the menu-entries is parsed from /boot/grub/grug.cfg since it was stable (the same on all ESPs and in /boot/grub), saves us from copying the part of "find device behind /, mangle it if zfs/btrfs, call grub_probe a few times" part of grub-mkconfig - and seems a bit more robust Tested with a BIOS and an UEFI VM with / on ZFS.
