I am considering pushing to drop grub entirely from meta-intel and using
syslinux and efilinux recipes. I don't see any added value in grub for
embedded Intel platforms.

So in that sense, I'd be happy to see it go to OE - but whether it needs
to be in OE or OE-Core, I don't know. Is anyone using grub on non-x86
platforms?
