Description of problem: Het high frequency of grub2 updates causes annoyance and extra work when dual booting with Windows and using Disk Locker. The secure chain gets broken at every grub2 update. This means that I need to enter the Bitlocker code by hand every time grub2 gets updated. This is annoying and makes it necessary to keep that key at hand (as a printout). That is less safe and not convenient. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Any How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Update grub2 2. Reboot 3. Select Windows in grub menu Actual results: Need to enter key Expected results: Windows booting with Bit Locker enabled Additional info: Suggest to not release that many updates to the public. People who need the latest version can always install it manually.
