Thank you for your long and helpful reply - and yes in my case it was
non-UEFI systems that I was referring to!  It is clear I will need to
do quite a lot of reading to be sure I don't break my systems when
grub2 is released to [core]!  However at least all this can be done
ahead of the change!

Best wishes
