As I work through the changes from Xubuntu vs LL I have found that due to changes in kernel level along with other issues; the only option is to say No as there are more changes under the hood that will break grub.
I understand Jerry (Valtam) is correct in holding back changes as the kernel is being changed on a low level on the (X)ubuntu upstream. As I am running 3.13.0-39 on xubuntu but even LL 2.2 beta is running 3.13.0-24
I personally avoid pushing any changes I do not control. But of course I also understand that there are large number of user who come from the closed world where patch Tuesdays are the only way to run things and of course even patches in that world break things just look at Directx or .Net things that are frameworks in the that world.
But I digress one must look at the concept here: New users need to be safe guarded from the chance of breakage. Advanced users need the flexibility to make changes and they stick. Plus sudo users need to own all the things to feel like it is their world after all.
So safety first flexibility second and Control third.
which follows the moto:

That is my rant for the day.
