I don't see automatic generation happening, as there's so much that can be changed and automated summary would easily mess up the GRUB list. I wouldn't want that. If anything, optional entry with a manual note is the way to do = it. --=20 A88C8ADD129828D7EAC02E52E22F9BBFEE348588 https://n0.is --axmdsvhmon4zmdck Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAABCgAdFiEEqIyK3RKYKNfqwC5S4i+bv+40hYgFAlq2SIQACgkQ4i+bv+40 hYgZHxAAgK9SsG9V3Oeefo0Utf+Tio/J7JfEwDvZbEfGy+cjUifdX9XT0JAelwUS DGXMGUxgYJxyPhc/oay/t79Oymmo9Me5VjrYwHRg9nww7f416H0WW/XMbsocTavn gCSj/XxSzH3n15q2rJuGWLmeN/w9GSXM1noG1nUTiNRYr6a9vv25k7uKqU4F8x/N vw5RzinyDqBRRDFf8mZy2dsk0PtoyzAISXWJDrYmkPpWkoSh382Wk4Nnd/JHaFHB SBf72kZdMNZWjGfwLbIjxpb1A7CBUY1qL/qX1zWwvM2MYCYZdUPpmO3HraG8pAow 26VqtH+tWqYHqBoTD1CLttmXSU4JbKt/hP/Xbdpjt4LPRQns+loKstCLsxgaHHR5 txNdTIhyuJ5nffMrokuY5qsavoiACb/3B7hl2LfMKJ2pK1SCJHHDh5nbgH5bK61c CXZwiDo54AAXWhj//ECY4eoJt1gSzvCr1YsD6icKD12EQHt2iLqwZQpIFxzIqAZS SuigWtg5K2ZlVHcM7XmWbRJAc8osbuLtORna+b7QWf3V36VSmaMgVsYHIEtscZR3 adbtFUbRoQA36vBYw/Iag2AyZlKK+yHLgBD05fIxot+pAt1sGR5ul3YRzYhXmj8C zUQpxLcd2pTc1rYs/HE3djmBPHJKKdyj8o7fkPnOiv1t1Rc+hmk= =k1/6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --axmdsvhmon4zmdck--
