Usability bugs which aren't bugs?

[Jago Pearce]

Are these bugs?
I notice it's common in technical projects such as grub that
useability is often the non-bug, since you can argue that it's not a
bug. Is this the case here?
Let's be honest, grub2 is a much bigger learning curve from the days Lilo.

I thought I'd mail here first to discuss and check before jumping in
with bugzilla.

1) In CLI mode you should be able to pass "kernel" to boot rather than
just "linux". The justification I make for this is that this is the
syntax the grub.cfg file follows so this is what a new user expects it
to be

2) grub2-install gives no output. In my case somehow it had written a
blank menu to my bootsector. I ended up having to rescue with both LVM
and an encrypted volume which was no walk in the park. Some verbosity
here is needed.

3) I noticed in the grub2-mkrescue that the syntax is described as
"grub2-mkrescue SOURCE". Surely the syntax should be "grub2-mkrescue
DESTINATION"? It's very confusing to think you are reading a file in
rather than writing a file out. Or am I mistaken?
