Description

When working on: https://github.com/teamsbc/distribution/issues/22 I noticed the KernelOptionsBootloader seem to be incorrectly documented. It talks about writing to grubenv but I think it does no such thing?

Setting its value to true actually omits writing the kernel arguments to either the bootloader configuration or before RPM installation (which is exactly what I needed, see related issue for details).

Research direction

Locate the documentation and implementation for KernelOptionsBootloader, then compare the documented grubenv behavior with the behavior described in this issue. Read related issue 22 for context and update the documentation so it accurately explains what setting the value to true omits; done means the documented behavior matches the implementation.
