After careful consideration, I've pushed this to guix master, with a big
comment in the source code as to why we are doing what we are doing.
I can see no downside to defaulting to TFTP for the time being.
I do wonder if there are cases now where Grub tries to use TFTP when the user
meant to boot locally--but nothing comes to mind.
Thank you for your elaborative E-Mails.
I will still review the remainder. Please take Efraim's comments into
consideration.
