Then why I have an urge to say: "duck and cover"?

I'll build it and give it a go once. If it's still incapable of installing where I tell it to (installing somewhere else because it knows better than I), I'll go back to legacy with RH patches and stay there for a long time.

Congratulations!

FWIW Ubuntu (and others I believe) has been using it for quite a while, and it works great.

Congratulations!

Except when it doesn't, or when it should do things differently (i.e. be configured in a different way), it's extremely difficult to find out how to do it. F.ex. is there documentation on how Ubuntu's integration with grub2 works in detail, so that one can tweak things?

There's a flood of howtos, forum posts, blog posts etc. Each outdated in its own way or covering only some specific aspect. A lot of howtos covering Grub1 and not saying so etc.
