[SM-Discuss] Query exception for grub ??

Hi folks,

Andrew recently highlighted a problem in current grub spell [0]. The
user is prompted in FINAL to determine if he wants or not to
edit /boot/grub/menu.lst
First thing, it should not be done in FINAL. But that's not why I bring
this bug to you.
The problem is that the prompt is made with a config_query. Andrew
argued that this is really annoying because one doesn't want to store
this setting. If one wants to edit it one time, and then do not edit,
the user has to cast -r -c, which is quite long especially with this
spell ;-)
A simple query would solve the problem, and that is what is was done
primarily. But I recently changed that according to our holy roadmap ;-)
[1] where it is said that :

"All spells use config_query instead of query and/or read"

So, can I make a exception for this stuff or not ??

Any thoughts ?? :-)
